具体描述
Dance on My Grave: a life and a death in four parts, one hundred and seventeen bits, six running reports and two press clippings, with a few jokes, a puzzle or three, some footnotes and a fiasco now and then to help the story along is a 1982 young adult novel by British author Aidan Chambers. It is the second book in the Dance Sequence series.
It tells the story of a British teenager named Henry Robinson, detailing the events that led to his dancing on the grave of his slightly older friend, Barry Gorman, with whom Robinson had a love affair.
It was one of the first few young adult books published by a major publisher that depicts homosexuality without being judgmental and was included on ALA's and other libraries' list of books for gay teens. It has also been referred to in a number of books on children and young adult literature.
Because of its gay-positive theme, it was challenged at the Montgomery County Memorial Library System in 2004 by the Library Patrons of Texas.
作者简介
Born near Chester-le-Street, County Durham in 1934, Chambers was an only child, and a poor scholar; considered "slow" by his teachers, he did not learn to read fluently until the age of nine. After two years in the Royal Navy as part of his National Service, Chambers trained as a teacher and taught for three years at Westcliff High School in Southend on Sea before joining an Anglican monastery in Stroud, Gloucestershire in 1960. He later used his experience as a monk in his novel Now I Know.
His first plays, including Johnny Salter (1966), The Car and The Chicken Run (1968), were published while he was a teacher at Archway School in Stroud.
Chambers left the monastery in 1967 and a year later became a freelance writer. His works include the "Dance sequence" of six novels: Breaktime, Dance on My Grave, Now I Know, The Toll Bridge, Postcards from No Man's Land which won the 1999 Carnegie Medal and This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn. He and his wife, Nancy, founded Thimble Press and the magazine Signal to promote literature for children and young adults. They were awarded the Eleanor Farjeon Award for outstanding services to children's books in 1982. From 2003 to 2006 he was President of the School Library Association.

读后感
一口气读完朋友推荐的DANCE ON MY GRAVE（这个名字真的像极了奥登的诗句）。 许多情结让人会心一笑。 尤其是，那些只有青春年少恋人间才会有的独特语言、思绪和小动作。 作者对写作语言的选择充分展示了少年亨利纯真、善感、多思、细腻和依恋的性格特征。少女凯莉极其成熟的言...
评分逢时两相得 关于少年的爱，我们读过村上春树的挪威森林，走出森林又见过百分百女孩；也读过塞林格式的麦田守望者；迷茫，便常是少年气质的独白主题。迷茫，再遇知已，再匆匆失去，便成强烈的对比，有如白纸上猛然落下死亡的黒字，若真是这样一副字写在人生少年初始时，想必会...
评分在我看来，青春总是残酷的。 那是个刚刚拥有了成年人的力量，却不会正确使用的时期，懵懵懂懂，不知轻重，对任何事物都抱有完美的幻想。无论是狂烈的喜欢，还是残忍的伤害，都是不计后果随心而至的行为。青春的冲动必然会带来各种各样的伤痛，遍布在心灵上的伤口，就是成长。...

想起十六岁的你。
评分这个夏天最爱的一本
评分没想象中好。
评分Barry太自我而Hal太自怜，Kari一定是读者一开始最讨厌而最后最喜欢的角色。有意思的书，但是不属于最好的Young Adult Novel之列。
