Product Description

Synopsis

The painting and writing of Denton Welch, much admired by such disparate people as Edith Sitwell and William Burroughs, is at once seemingly artless and immensely considered. There is really no one quite like him. Frail and desperately sensitive, Welch died young at the age of 33, leaving behind an intense corpus of work that had earned him widespread admiration both artistically and as a writer. James Methuen-Campbell has delved deep into Welch's short life, balancing analysis of his work with a detailed study of his life, enhanced by countless interviews with those who knew Welch best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a happy story, 9 April 2009
By Jonathan Carr "joncarr" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This study of the life of Denton Welch, who wrote the wonderful 'Maiden Voyage', tells us a lot about people's prejudice. One of the people the author James Methuen-Campbell asked to interview about Denton just refused and said, 'He was queer, wasn't he?' Like he didn't matter at all.

Denton was injured in a car accident while riding his bike and it changed his life. He died young, producing an impressive body of work. But the story of how horrible people are is, again, the real subject of the book.
