    Jim Grimsley's Dream Boy as an Insight into Male Teenage Same-sex Desire in the American South

  • Original language description

    The article discusses two opposing interpretations of Jim Grimsley&apos;s novel Dream Boy (1995), a &quot;southern&quot; one and a &quot;gay&quot; one. Because of the ambiguities of the novel, the story of two teenagers, Nathan and Roy, can be considered primarily in its southern setting and understood as an insight into same-sex desire in the South, which often exists outside the categories of gay identity. At the same time, it can be seen as just another coming-out story, this time one set in a rural area and ending prematurely with the violent death of the main protagonist. While the author of the article would subscribe to a &quot;gay&quot; interpretation, he admits that the &quot;southern&quot; interpretation, suggested by Grimsley, may provide a valuable insight into same-sex desire in the American South.
