| Description: | “His Stupid Boyhood” is a memoir of childhood from birth to the age of eighteen. It plays with the conventions of the form in various ways; that is, the reliability of past memories filtered through later perception; the distancing and playful ‘objectification’ of a past, younger self by describing him, on and off, in the third person; the notion that up until the age of adult responsibility/consent/legal responsibility, we can forgive various sins, particularly those of our own youthful selves. |
