The incandescent core of War Boy, the thing that makes it the most exciting gay novel in a decade, is its implicit recognition of gayness as an act of rebellion. Radboy comes to understand that the mere fact of living queer constitutes a kind of defiance, especially in a society as brutally conformist as America.
