Description
My Funny Brother is that rare thing in South African literature: a teen novel for all ages. It’s rare in another respect: it’s a novel for all teens in which a couple of the characters happen to be gay. Author and publisher Robin Malan says that the book is not only intended for gay teens but for a wider audience.
“Gay teens will find in it lots of moments of recognition, as well as affirmation. They’ll “understand” a lot of what happens in the book. But my hope is that all teen readers will enjoy the story and perhaps discover a few things they didn’t know about gay people and about themselves,” he explains.
