"The Boy on the Beach" is poetry in its most elegant form. It is languid and sensual, beautiful and easy. The prose flows gorgeously and elegantly. The story is a simple one, one that has been told many times--a boy on the cusp of manhood and the women who gently lead him over the threshhold, but Weaver tells the story lovingly, respectfully, tenderly. A first kiss is a precious thing--and Weaver treats it thusly, creating a play that is pure magic, pure sweetness, and pure Weaver.
