STUART: (Reading) Mungo came out of the close and joined the pack of Proddy boys heading to the waste ground. SHAPIRO: That world has a very specific way of speaking, so I asked Douglas Stuart to read a paragraph where Mungo reluctantly joins a gang of Protestant teenagers going to fight a rival group of Catholic boys. They really have to face the world outside their door because that's the only world they know. You know, they can't just up and leave and go find a different place where they belong in the world. But this book centers on a romance between two teenage boys - one Protestant, one Catholic.ĭOUGLAS STUART: And I think when you're talking about queerness at that time and you're also intersecting it with class or with poverty or social mobility, then the stakes are very different for the characters.
