A classic, hilarious coming out novel about growing up in the 1960s—can Benson be both gay and Catholic? Gay and happy? What do you do when you're fat, 14, and your obsessions include the Catholic Church, doing the right thing, scones and sweets, and other boys and their private parts? Well, if you're Benson, you panic and flee, hiding from the flesh as a novice in a monastery. Alas, St. Finbar's monastery is as full of temptation as the grammar school he'd left behind. The devils of desire find Benson once again and throw him back into the world from which he’d tried to escape. Returned to school, Benson is still trying to square the circle of his conflicting enthusiasms and desires. This comic epic is a warm, funny, and bold reminder of just how new, and superficial, sexual tolerance in contemporary society really is.

Humor & Satire

After a life spent in the shallows, Benson has come to the point when he must face reality.

Benson at Sixty

<p>Sweet and sour; joy and sorrow; yin and yang; good and evil; nothing comes unmixed with its opposite. The door to Oriental House seems open and Richard Barr enters, pretending garlic (playing dumb)  to get along in a culture where it's not cool to say no and getting angry is unacceptable. He has a mission, should he choose to accept it, and his best weapon may be a patient smile in a power struggle punctuated by schemers scheming, liars lying, and lovers loving. And he can bob along innocently and gracelessly on the surface of a civilization 3000 years old, or try to figure out who is doing what and why.</p>
