Narration Supposing Books Cody: Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada

By turns funny, romantic, erotic, and sad, this evocative novel brilliantly recreates the landscape of late adolescence, when friendships seem eternal and loves reincarnate. Set in Arkansas but first published in Amsterdam under the title Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada, Cody quickly won praise from reviewers and readers across Europe and North America and caught the attention of William S. Burroughs and other writers who befriended the young author (Hale began writing the novel when he was sixteen). The first edition of the book was immediately banned in the United Kingdom during Margaret Thatcher's Operation Tiger. Today, Clicking Beat remains current and continues to be unique in both coming of age literature and the gay literary canon.

Critique Appertaining To Books Cody: Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada

This is the only book that I've read in a single day. I could not put this book down. I read this book back in the late 80s early 90s. Probably read it about 5 times in the first couple years of having it. Been more than 15 years since I last read Cody but I can still resight the I remember friends poem in the back of the book.

I certainly cannot call the writing bad, but it was not for me. Plus, Im not sure I will ever be able to get over my allergy to reading fiction set in high school

Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada is a fantastic novel, making readers laugh, shake their head, go "oooooh" at things, flip pages dramatically. Once you're done, I'd recommend staring out a window on a weekday afternoon (preferably around noon) and contemplate your life. Very few novels have made me do that.Following the narrative of Trotsky, a teenager thrown into frightening and frustrating situation, we're detailed how friendly, loss and family severely affect the lives of our youth, and

A sometimes funny, sometimes tear-producing tale of young friendship, love, and loss.



This book was definitely not what I expected!It was a thoughtful and thought provoking novel about a young man who happens to be gay. His life is explained in a mixture of socio-political experiences that were part of what all of his friends and family seemed to be about. The book takes place in Arkansas, but was first published in the Netherlands and I wonder if the Netherlands might be more into teens with very strident political views. . The political views of these teens are communistic or

So, this is a gay coming-of-age story about high schoolers who quote Sartre and discuss politics all day long. I'm relatively young and thought that was ludicrous, but a lot of the other reviewers say that kids during that time -- the early 80s, I guess? -- were a lot better educated than my generation, so whatever. It still felt weird. Also, there's great humor in this book, the dialogue is really fun, and the main character's love interest is so dreamy he's unbelievable... but the ending! The
