Review # 1 was written on 2009-09-03 00:00:00 Justin Snapp Stunning. An historiographic account of the formation of homosexuality in the 19th century, a la Foucault, but in a pseudo-memoir style. The "Evidence" section begins tediously but culminates in an absolutely wonderful account of the shift from invisibility to the "love that dare not speak its name." A love letter to Wilde; a love letter to London; a diaristic tale of becoming one's gay self. I'd write more, but feel I'll do it a disservice.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-30 00:00:00 mario souilli It was 5*s when I read it in the 1980s and it's still 5*s today. Video review
