Two Boys Kissing
David Levithan
Fiction L579t
In this based-on-true-events story we meet, Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are
about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new
Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the
generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly
dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal
point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing
long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and
falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all
while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings
for each other.
