That definitely would have added to his internalized homophobia as a child. That seemed to be obvious, but I just thought I’d make that point clear. In general, Eddie’s mother is very repressing and homophobic throughout the book. This can easily be taken as him marrying a “beard” or a woman just to have a wife. It is made very clear that Eddie did not want to marry her, and that he only did so because he found the same comfort and safety in her that he found in his mother. The very first thing we learn about Eddie when we’re introduced to him as an adult in the beginning of the novel is that he does not love his wife, and that she is nearly a carbon copy of his mother. It seems as though he knows he’s doing something “wrong” in the eyes of God. He says that he feels “not worthy” and as though he’d be “damned to Hell” which he, seemingly, has no reason to feel that way. He says this fear began after a story that his Sunday School teacher told, but it definitely appears to reach much deeper than that. At a point in the book, Eddie talks about how he suddenly began fearing going to church and celebrating communion.

However, the offerings of a blowjob at first for a dime and then for free not only shows Eddie’s fear of sex in general (with how much his mother likely repressed him sexually, but also instilled a fear of sex) but also of his fear of sex with men. He feels that if he touches it, he will instantly begin to rot from the inside out. Of course, the most obvious is the leper itself represents Eddie’s fear of disease and dirtiness. This, being Eddie’s biggest fear, can be interpreted in several ways.

This scene in the book is a bit different than in the movie in that instead of just chasing Eddie looking super gross and disease ridden, the leper in the book offers to give Eddie a blowjob. The most talked about thing is Eddie’s encounter with the leper. Of course, there’s nothing in the book that straight up says “Eddie is gay,” but there are some things that may imply it: A bunch of people sent me asks and messaged me asking to make a post about the scenes in the book that code Eddie as gay.
