''The Boys on the Rock'' is a short debut novel by John Fox which details the coming out and falling in love of a gay sixteen-year-old swimmer, ''nomine'' Billy Connors, who narrates the story in the first person. It is notable as perhaps the first novel ever to blend politics with the travails of a gay adolescent. ==Plot== Set in the Bronx against the historical backdrop of United States Senator Eugene McCarthy's unsuccessful bid to become the Democratic presidential candidate for the 1968 elections, the novel focuses on Connors's "rocky relationship that fared no better than McCarthy's campaign", in the words of critic Wayne Hoffman (author of the novel ''Hard''), who described it in ''The Washington Post'' as a "classic".〔Hoffman 2006.〕
