description: When his first attempt at heterosexual romance ends with a whimper, Peter seeks solace in a bottle of Scotch. But it's Gito, a 14-year-old streetkid who sneaks into the bar selling candy, that distracts Peter's attention from his dreary love life. The lonely teacher offers Gito shelter from an abusive home. And as the defensive youngster begins to open himself to the older man, Peter feels the tug of another kind of romance. As both man and boy fight awkwardly against their growing attraction, Streetboy Dreams becomes one of the most touching and unusual love affairs in literature.
