Good Boy Growing Up With Gay Pride In Islamic Turkey (Caner Alper)

[FaridKhan]

Caner Alper CAM Publishing 2025

From the internationally acclaimed director of Zenne Dancer , Drawers , Bergen , and Bihter , Good Boy is a searing, cinematic memoir of growing up queer in a society that insists on silence. M.Caner Alper-one of Turkey's most daring contemporary filmmakers-brings his sharp visual storytelling and emotional candor to the page in this lyrical and unflinching portrait of life lived against the grain.
Set in the secular yet profoundly patriarchal landscape of late 20th-century Turkey, Good Boy follows Caner from his earliest childhood memories-moments of joy, trauma, play, and shame-to adulthood as an out and defiant gay man. Moving between intimate family recollections and brutal social truths, Alper recounts with raw elegance the slaps, silences, contradictions, and rebellions that defined his youth: his first forbidden dance, his complex, punishing relationship with his mother, the unspoken rules of Turkish masculinity, the ecstasy of first love, and the unbearable weight of being "different."
Written in a vivid, cinematic style, Good Boy reads like a film unspooling scene by scene-emotionally resonant, visually rich, and structurally bold. As with his films, Alper blends personal vulnerability with social critique, threading queer liberation through the tight weave of religion, tradition, and nationalism. His stories pulse with the rhythm of memory, the choreography of trauma, and the defiance of survival.
For LGBTQ+ readers-particularly those outside the Western world or within diaspora communities-this book offers something rare: a fearless, unsanitized account of queer life in a place where visibility comes at a high cost. For global readers seeking stories from the edges of Europe and the Middle East, Good Boy delivers a powerful corrective to Western-centric queer narratives, illuminating what it means to grow up when your existence is itself a rebellion.
Alper's voice is intimate yet political, poetic yet unsparing. From a tearful coming-of-age in Turkey to an emotional wedding in Malibu, California, from violent confrontations with family to moments of deep erotic self-discovery, Good Boy tells a story of becoming that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
For readers of Andre Aciman, James Baldwin, Jean Genet, Gore Vidal, Ocean Vuong, Abdellah Taïa, Edouard Louis and Carmen Maria Machado, Good Boy is a landmark work of queer world literature-a fierce, tender, and unforgettable memoir from the margins.
