Two, Two, Lily-White Boys

Geoffrey Clark

4.9/5 (18321 ratings)

Description:Two, Two, Lily-White Boys follows the fortunes of two 14-year-old Scouts from Ermine Falls—Larry Carstairs, the narrator, and Andy Dellums, Larry’s schoolmate and friend—over the course of six days at Camp Greavy, a Boy Scout camp not far from Traverse City, Michigan. The story’s catalyst is Russell “Curly” Norrys, a worldly, charismatic 17-year-old and homophobe who suspects Andy is a homosexual.Conflicts engineered by Curly accelerate as the days wear on, eventually culminating in tragedy.Curly is mercurial, protean, and a pathological liar who projects a kind of beguiling perversity—much liked at camp—and sophistication. He is a product of a peculiar international upbringing. He can be moved to tears by a Chekhov story, yet be stunningly cruel to his real-life contemporaries. He has sociopathic tendencies.Andy has artistic leanings, sings, dances, plays the piano, and acts. He and Curly seem attracted to each other, but Curly secretly plots against Andy.Near the week’s end, tragedy occurs, catapulting passive-aggressive Larry into a new estate where he, for the first time, confronts what he finally recognizes as evil.Larry will eventually be moved to action, though his efforts will be thwarted by Curly’s wiliness and guile. Finally, Larry must choose between his own safety and justice for Andy. These lines from Roethke’s “I’m Here” suggest some of the torments that beleaguer the novel’s characters:So much of adolescence is an ill-defined dying,An intolerable waiting,A longing for another place and time,Another condition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
