Summary:

Originally published in 1973, "this classic account of a young man's coming to terms with his sexuality ... had to appear under a pen name because of 'societal bigotry.'"--Jacket.

"When The Best Little Boy in the World was first published in 1973, The New York Times Book Review hailed this classic account of a young man's coming to terms with his sexuality as 'uniquely frank ... a splendid book.' Yet the reviewer was also disturbed that a journal about owning up to one's true identity had to appear under a pen name because of 'societal bigotry.' Happily, times have changed. Today 'John Reid' can be himself and is already known to millions of readers as the witty, bestselling financial writer Andrew Tobias. To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his intelligent work, the Modern Library is reissuing The Best Little Boy in the World. Full of humor and free of guilt, it remains one of the most enduring memoirs of a generation."--Dust jacket.
