Finalist, 2002
Lambda Literary Award for
Autobiography/Memoir
"This book shows all the vital signs of genius. In Famous Builder
Paul Lisicky asks the tragic American question: who are you if you've
recreated yourself? And he answers it: you are alone, vulnerable, and
fully loaded."

Lawnboy (1999, 2006)
-- Finalist 2000 Stonewall Book Award
Seventeen-year-old Evan’s adventure begins with
mowing a neighbor’s lawn, a summer job that leads him into an
unpredictable world of desire and betrayal. Estranged from his parents and
his older brother, he moves in with forty-one-year-old William and begins
a disastrous series of attempts to make a new home. Must he make a choice
between his family and desire?
First published to wide acclaim in 1999, Lawnboy wanders the
tumultuous landscape of the early 1990s, its South Florida setting as
fertile and troubling as Evan’s inner life.
