Synopsis

The Milkman's on His Way was first published in 1982 and is one of the first queer young adult novels to appear in the UK. It tells the story of Ewan McCrae, a gay teenager living in Cornwall, struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. To explore his identity, Ewan leaves his claustrophobic home town for London, where he hopes to find people who are just like him. For many gay teenagers of the early 1980s The Milkman's on His Way was a rare chance to read a life-affirming story that put their experience at the centre.

À propos de l'auteur

David Rees (1936-1993) was the author of over thirty works, the majority being young adult novels. He was also part of the burgeoning gay journalism scene of the late 1970s, and regularly wrote reviews and articles for magazines and newspapers, including Gay News and Gay Times. In the late 1960s Rees moved to Exeter. Many of his stories are set in Devon and Cornwall, including his Carnegie Medal winning historical fiction, The Exeter Blitz (1978). Between 1968-1984 he worked as a Lecturer in Education at the University of Exeter, and the educational dimension of young adult fiction inspired his writing, especially themes of identity and sexuality. Quintin's Man (1976) and In the Tent (1979) featured gay protagonists but The Milkman's on His Way (1982) was his boldest attempt to foreground the experience of gay teenagers in his stories. Other novels like The Hunger (1986), a gay historical romance set during the 1840 Great Famine, were inspired by Rees' Irish family background. From 1985 David Rees was living with AIDS, an experience explored in his adult novel The Wrong Apple (1987). He continued to write until his death in 1993 from AIDS-related illness.
