My one cricism is that whilst Chbosky do clu a gay character, that gay character is male. Culturally, we seem que fortable wh the ia of a slightly effemate, flamboyant, gay character and I gus I would have liked to see Chbosky be more origal this regard. The ntrast between the olr generatns’ fear of homosexualy and Charlie’s acceptance of Patrick is ditive of the way that society’s rponse to homosexualy was changg the 1990s.
It also has a kd of didactic purpose showg the rear that ’s ok to be gay, which I thk is particularly important YA fictn.
