BOY FRIENDS | Michael Pedersen | Faber & Faber | 9780571360055 | R342
In 2018, poet and author Michael Pedersen was on a road trip of the Scottish Highlands with his partner, Hollie McNish, and best friend and artistic collaborator, Scott Hutchinson. A few days later, Scott went missing; his disappearance and death caused ripples throughout the Scottish art scene and beyond. Throughout the book, Pedersen recalls the passionate male friendships that have enriched his life – Boy Friends, though, is a love letter to his most cherished friend, and a powerful depiction of friendship, loss, and the beauty of moments shared.
