Synopsis
A manuscript is discovered inside a hollowed-out home economics textbook: it is the story of a young man from a small town who comes to the big city at the height of the Cold War. His accidental discovery of a gay subculture culminates in a feverish, dreamlike initiation that pushes him irrevocably towards crisis. This is a novel about discovery, loss and the contemporary |closet| where stories lie hidden from view.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A manuscript is discovered inside a hollowed-out home economics textbook from the 1950s: the story of a male librarian from a small town who comes to the big city at the height of the Cold War in 1959. At first he is giddy with the discovery of an urban paradise, allowing him to reinvent himself at the same time as the city is. But his accidental discovery of a gay subculture culminating in a feverish, dream-like initiation pushes him irrevocably towards crisis. A bildungsroman that connects the unblemished innocence of the 1950s to the contemporary closet' of denial and sacrifice, both literally and figuratively.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781551522128
