Town & Gown Boy

By Jonah West

The story is told through the eyes and mind of a boy growing up in Oxford during the 1940/50's. It is a time when homosexuality was criminal but the University - "The Gown" flouted the law with impunity and the law itself sent the "Town" local homosexuals underground. This silence created perfect cover for homosexual paedophile men to exploit vulnerable boys of whom there were many - created by the time and by the Oxford hybrid culture "Town and Gown". A few Town boys crossed to the Gown world via the 11- Plus intelligence screening that took place during the time. Some of these boys became vulnerable due to the vast differences they encountered between home and school during early teenage years. These boys presented a target for paedophiles from both Town and Gown - out looking for them in the streets of central Oxford.Could one of these abused boys fully survive this experience?
