“The Drowning of Stephan Jones” has a dangerously heightened sense of reality, using language as true as possible, and copied down as people said it to American classic novelist, Bette Greene. Researching homophobia, coast to coast from Maine – Tennessee - Washington State, Bette completed six hundred interviews in twenty months.
Through the eyes of Carla, a natural beauty of sixteen, the story is told. Carla’s efforts to act upon her own moral values in the face of a restrictive and judgmental society are torn between her romantic relationship as Andy’s girlfriend and as a witness to truth.
Outstanding athlete, Andy Harris’ wanton act of violence is more devastating and unfathomable than his father’s death-do-us-part boxing matches and his father’s brutal name calling to the tune of “Miss Andy…come on Fruit Fag…you FAG!”
