First published in 1974, The Front Runner raced to international acclaim - the first novel about gay love to become popular with mainstream.
In 1975, coach Harlan Brown is hiding from his past at an obscure New York college, after he was fired from Penn State University on suspicion of being gay. A tough, lonely ex-Marine of 39, Harlan has never allowed himself to love another man.
Then Billy Sive, a brilliant young runner, shows up on his doorstep. He and his two comrades, Vince Matti and Jacques LaFont, were just thrown off a major team for admitting they are gay. Harlan knows that, with proper training, Billy could go to the '76 Olympics in Montreal. He agrees to coach the three boys under strict conditions that thwart Billy's growing attraction for his mature but compelling mentor. The lean, graceful frontrunner with gold-rim glasses sees directly into Harlan's heart. Billy's gentle and open acceptance of his sexuality makes Harlan afraid to confront either the pain of his past, or the challenges which lay in wait if their intimacy is exposed.
But when Coach Brown finds himself falling in love with his most gifted athlete, he must combat his true feelings for Billy or risk the outrage of the entire sports world - and their only chance at Olympic gold.

評分我撇开身后的学生跟着他。“Billy ”,我大喊。他转过头来。我朝他的脸狠狠的扇了一耳光,但是留意不碰到他的眼镜。这一巴掌就像在医院里Patton甩给战士的那有名的一巴掌,完全是为了让他清醒。甚至是Zen Buddhists都甩过巴掌。他们称之为“psychic shock”,让脑子清醒。我打...

去年看的,我覺得是一本值得看第二遍的小說。
评分故事情節應該是現在很多耽美小說的模闆吧,他倆剛開始談戀愛的時候還是挺好看的,但是之後的文字有點兒太樸實瞭。。。不得不說女作者對整件事情還是加入瞭一些自己的幻想
评分還有一點沒看完書就不見瞭。理想情人billy!
评分描寫風景的語言很多都很可取,但是有些敘述又比較流水賬,最可怕的是作者帶入瞭太多田徑和星座的jargon和obsession,顯得個人色彩很濃重。很可以想象這樣一本齣版於70年代的書對當時的lgbt群體有著怎樣的撫慰和cathartic的作用,鑒於此,它少許俗套狗血的缺點又可以被原諒瞭。
评分算是同性戀小說先驅,在那個年代缺乏理解的人是多麼令人感到難過。破碎眼鏡是幾個封麵裏麵我認為比較好的。
