Ah, well, I couldn't believe I got this one since it's been so long since I read it, so I wanted to drop another clue. Shouldn't have messed with your quote, sorry.
Anyway, here goes: Quote:

The first two sentences make me think A Christmas Carol, but I doubt that is it.

It's a very long time since I read it, but it reminds me of Lord Foul's Bane the first book of the Thomas Covenant Chronicles?

Seriously? About all I can remember is that he gets leprosy, and then starts "dreaming" of weird lands in a time past/elsewhere.
Will have to think about a new challenge then... |

My next excerpt would be about leprosy, followed by the rape scene, then name dropping. But, you got it from the writing style I hope!

"The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead. All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat."

Not really the style, more the fact that he was in an ambulance and obviously ill, followed by the scene where he is not sure if he is dreaming or really experiencing what's happening to him. Don't remember the rape scene...
