You know, this was an excellent book.  I must have read it at least three times.  And yet I never once picked up on a current of "homosexuality".  It just seemed to me to be a very painful story of a guy who didn't allow himself to escape the role he thought he had to play.  It was sad, because I really liked Finny, and he didn't deserve any of the fallout from the psycho-crap Gil went through.


I'll have to re-read it with more adult eyes.  Thanks for the reminder.
