Recommendations of The Boy on the Beach

  • Emily Hageman: The Boy on the Beach

    "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.
