| Summary: | "This English translation of the Colombian award-winning novel, Un beso de Dick, tells a tale of friendship and love between two adolescent schoolmates and soccer players in Colombia during the 1980's. The South American locale adds hints of regional culture and supports the universal themes. The novel propels readers while manipulating the registers of language from informal locker room chatter to proper classroom didactics." "Dick's Kiss, the title inspired by Dickens' Oliver Twist, traces the nuances of adolescent attraction between two young men with a multiplicity of tones from comic to sardonic, serious to philosophical."--BOOK JACKET. |
