Reviews
Praise for THE PORCUPINE OF TRUTH * "A friendship between a straight boy and a lesbian is relatively rare in YA fiction and is, accordingly, exceedingly welcome. And that's the truth." -- Booklist , starred review "Bill Konigsberg's THE PORCUPINE OF TRUTH is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking, a funny and thought-provoking road trip with remarkable friends Carson and Aisha, who share tough lessons about mending fractures, forging bonds, and discovering grace. Undeniably human and unforgettably wise, this book is a gift for us all." -- Andrew Smith, author of GRASSHOPPER JUNGLE and WINGER Praise for OPENLY STRAIGHT "Lambda Literary Award-winner Konigsberg has written an exceptionally intelligent, thought-provoking, coming-of-age novel about the labels people apply to us and that we, perversely, apply to ourselves....With its capacity to invite both thought and deeply felt emotion, OPENLY STRAIGHT is altogether one of the best gay-themed novels of the last ten years." -- Booklist, starred review "Konigsberg's lovely novel invites us to walk with Rafe through his season of assumed identity and his costly emergence into honesty. It's beautiful. It's a story of salvation." -- The New York Times Book Review "This unusual treatment of the subject of labels, integrity, and the role of sexuality in identity forthrightly explores life after homophobia.... Readers and discussion groups looking for new and deeper ways to think about what it means to live honestly in a world that sorts by labels will find this fresh and evocative." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review "Rafe is an effective blend of earnest, perceptive, and flawed, and the deepening hole of deception he digs for himself infuses the plot--a well-constructed web of interpersonal dramas--with almost unbearable tension. Konigsberg eviscerates the "don't ask, don't tell" philosophy, slyly demonstrating just how thoroughly assumptions of straightness are embedded in everyday interactions. For a thought-provoking, creative, twenty-first-century take on the coming-out story, look no further." -- Horn Book, Praise for The Porcupine of Truth : Winner of the Stonewall Book Award Winner of the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Children's/Young Adult A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection "Words like 'brilliant' are so overused when praising novels--so I won't use that word. I'll just think it." -- Benjamin Alire Senz, author of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe "Bill Konigsberg's The Porcupine of Truth is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking, a funny and thought-provoking road trip with remarkable friends Carson and Aisha, who share tough lessons about mending fractures, forging bonds, and discovering grace. Undeniably human and unforgettably wise, this book is a gift for us all." -- Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle and Winger * "Konigsberg weaves together a masterful tale of uncovering the past, finding wisdom, and accepting others as well as oneself." -- School Library Journal , starred review * "Konigsberg... crafts fascinating, multidimensional teen and adult characters. A friendship between a straight boy and a lesbian is relatively rare in YA fiction and is, accordingly, exceedingly welcome." -- Booklist , starred review "Equal parts funny and profound." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Openly Straight : Winner of the Sid Fleischman Award for Humor YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection Lambda Literary Award Finalist "Konigsberg's lovely novel invites us to walk with Rafe through his season of assumed identity and his costly emergence into honesty.
