Review
220 pages, paperback
Two highly sexed gay men, old and intimate friends, write to each other for over a year. One is the musical director of the British National Opera, neurotic and liberal; the other is a Shakespeare scholar of aristocratic descent, staunchly conservative and currently teaching in San Diego. In between their tales of sexual shenanigans they exchange chapters from an unpublished novel whose romantic idealism contrasts with the cynical camp egotism of their letters.
A witty portrait of gay life in Margaret Thatcher's Britain, told through the correspondence of two highly sexed gay men, Francis and Jeremy, who are old and intimate friends,. Set in the early 90s, in London and San Diego, around the musical and literary world - Francis is a Shakespeare scholar attached to a University in South California and Jeremy is an Opera Conductor, the pair exchange regular witty (and often bitchy), over the course of a year.
