Product Description
Synopsis
Peoples lives are complex, contradictory and inconsistent. They can also be rich and passionate, at times lonely, at times exciting. This book reflects this in the life stories of 15 homosexual men in the years when homosexual acts were illegal in the UK. The interviews give a vivid impression of male homosexual life when documentary evidence is limited to accounts of notorious scandals or the memoirs and biographies of literary and society homosexuals. These memories and experiences allow insights into how homosexual men made sense of their needs and desires, and fashioned for themselves manageable personal and social identities. These accounts of individuals' quests for identity and community should appeal to gay readers and to those with an interest in life during the earlier part of the century.
