This makes a fascinating collection of cultural and literary essays with poignant observations and interesting details about important gay public figures. Not to mention that it discusses in most of them the dichotomy between public and private and between private persona and artistic creation. I learnt quite a lot of new things and my only reproach is that this book wasn‘t twice its current size.🤓

#loversinadangeroustime #timbittunes @Cinfhen @TheKidUpstairs obvious choice really.

Reasons for having the BBC!Moriarty funkopop next to it:
✔ He's listening to music
✔ Both author & actor are gay & come from Ireland
✔ Book is to do with homosexuality

Cinfhen Great photo and looks like a fascinating read 👍🏻 5y
