Boy Friends : A Memoir of Joy, Grief and Male Friendship

An intimate and original memoir of love, grief and male friendship by one of Scotland's brightest young talents.

'Lucid, lyrical, loaded . . . A love letter to friendship.' JACKIE KAY

'Dazzling . . . uncommonly romantic, irreverent and at times laugh out loud funny. A delight.' SHIRLEY MANSON

'Beautiful . . . send it to every friend you've ever loved.' CHARLOTTE CHURCH

Friendships just might be the greatest love affairs of our lives . . . In 2018 poet and author Michael Pedersen lost a cherished friend, Scott Hutchison, soon after their collective voyage into the landscape of the Scottish Highlands.

Just weeks later, Michael began to write to him. As he confronts the bewildering process of grief, what starts as a love letter to one magical, coruscating human soon becomes a paean to all the gorgeous male friendships that have transformed his life.
