CBC Showcase: Fiction on the Edge
Award-winning author Melvin Burgess has written a daringly honest and often
hilarious account of contemporary teenage life.
by Melvin Burgess
"I mean—I like girls. I get on well with them. And I like sex. Not that
I've had all that much experience of it—not with another person being in
the room at the same time anyway. I just can't somehow put the two together.
I can be getting on really well with a girl but as soon as I get an inkling
that there might be a chance of anything happening I just freeze up. It's
scary."
