a man's confessions

a pretty good tale about a man's sexual awakening. though its probably tame by today's standards,quince's views on women and sex could still shock some people.he goes from relationship to relationship as a way of finding his identity. very erotic, literate and entertaining.

Confessions of a Spent Youth is bold. Unafraid of the warped, pre-p.c. agendas of the 1950's-60's, it is an honest tale of a young man peering through the mask of hormones, war, death, sex, and the constant inhaling of random drugs and liquors. Riding with Quincy is an adventure.Probably the most memorable aspect of the book is the boyish way it is written. He's curious in his egotism, shocking in his innocence. He doesn't try to grab your collar and make you feel some fake emotion that's more outrage than empathy. He's real. Yes - this book is... good.
