For Tom Mollicelli, passing out in gym class, his sister saving him from a bully, getting drunk at a party, going camping with his straight crush, and almost ditching a speech tournament, all leads up to his first kiss from a guy. Set in a small Ohio town at the peak of the 1970s, \u003cem\u003eLessons in Teenage Biology \u003c\/em\u003eshares a searingly honest depiction of a gay youth struggling to just get through another day or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLambda Literary Award-winning novelist Jim Provenzano brings a swift wit to his latest story, which is actually his first. Hand-typed on a manual typewriter in 1986, the author of seven subsequent novels and other works recently rediscovered his early novella in a box of documents, then scanned and converted the pages. While expanding the story, he retained its sense of urgent eccentricity. Fitting for the Young Adult genre, Tom's wild two days, a somewhat autobiographical coming of age tale, will also spark a nostalgic light for readers who remember teen life in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Provenzano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Myrmidude Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218356781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProvenzano, Jim:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jim Provenzano is the author of 'Finding Tulsa' (Palm Drive Publishing), 'Now I'm Here' (Beautiful Dreamer Press), the Lambda Literary Award-winning 'Every Time I Think of You, ' its sequel 'Message of Love' (a Lambda Literary Award Finalist), the novels 'PINS, ' 'Monkey Suits, ' 'Cyclizen, ' the stage adaptation of 'PINS, ' and the short story collection 'Forty Wild Crushes.'
