YA
Closeted gay high-school senior Kit cultivates his innate acting ability when he lands the leading male role in the (fictional) controversial play Talk. His first-person narrative alternates with that of confident queen bee Lindsay, who plays opposite the quiet Kit. The novel flows in a poetic stream-of-consciousness style; mounting tension within the script parallels the tension in Kit's and Lindsay's lives.
