About product This is 1973. War is still raging in Vietnam. In the United States, homosexuality is punishable by law. Jonathan’s life resembles total hell — he is bullied at school, his uncle is kept in a mental hospital, and his father drinks unrestrainedly. Summer vacation is coming soon, and his only girlfriend will leave town. To hide from the surrounding pain and cruelty, he plunges into the world of his fantasies. Only there he can be himself and not be afraid of his desires, because homosexuality is considered a disease. Jonathan really wants to become normal, so he undergoes painful procedures with electric shock. But one day he meets Web, and friendship with him changes his life forever. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James Brandon is one of the founders of the I AM Love campaign. His work has been published in the Huffington Post, Believe Out Loud, and Spirituality and Health Magazine. REVIEWS: “A strong story that will catch you with Hurricane Katrina. Suddenly, tough. It is important to read and write books about this. Get ready to dissolve in the text, like sugar in a cup of hot tea. » — Temur, YouTube channel CALVADOZE “A non-magical story about a magic boy with a lightning on his forehead, holding the entire book in electric tension. It is about confronting oneself and the difficult path of acceptance, about love and hate, about youth and the difficulties of growing up, which are in one way or another close to every reader. » — Sasha, @sashared, Instagram blogger and book lover Abstract Jonathan is sixteen years old. He loves listening to rock music, cycling and chatting with his girlfriend Starla. But not everything goes smoothly in his life. At school, he is haunted by mockery and ridicule, his father gets drunk every evening, and there is no one in the whole world who could understand him. Thanks to his rich imagination, he can communicate with his favorite singer Ziggy Stardust and feel free. But when he meets Web, he finally realizes that he no longer needs to hide in a fantasy world. The Russian edition includes an afterword by psychologist Danila Gulyaev, in which he tells how people with a non-traditional orientation live in Russia and gives advice on how to remain yourself if you are not like everyone else.
