Book Review of The Lost Language of Cranes

The Lost Language of Cranes
reviewed on + 412 more book reviews


This novel was written in 1986, and it has the feel of being dated. It is, however, still a well-written and readable novel about the coming out of a young gay man at the same time as his closeted father. My one big complaint: the character of Jerene is totally superfluous.
