Query: Outcasts - My Friends

I first found this novel in the mid 80's. And one my first read I knew it was a book that would describe parts of my life. Without graphic sex scenes a world of prositution is unfolded for you that not only tells of love and loss but of the unique mindset needed. It also hits hard on the subject of family wich hammered this reader into incoprehension from similarities.I write this review to inform others that a film called " outcasts" based on this book was released form Tiawan in the mid 90's. Being the first film of this subject matter ever to come from Tiawan. The VHS tape is the ONLY movie from book that I believe outdid the original book. And has the added benifit of having a happy ending.Unfortunately I have not found a dvd release.Though I have found VHS here at amazon from time to time.Two decades later I still read Crystal Boys at least once a year. I take it to heart, and for the I am a better person for it.Metta
