The first is that, creatively, the book was close to perfect ... but the other reason is that it was a book about being different in a culture where, for the first time in the West, being different wasn't just accepted, but was also fashionable.

“You must be respectful and assenting, but without being servile and abject. You must be frank, but without indiscretion, and close, without being costive. You must keep up dignity of character, without the least pride of birth, or rank. You must be gay, within all the bounds of decency and respect; and grave, without the affectation of wisdom, which does not become the age of twenty.

You must be firm, and even bold, but with great seeming modesty.” DoeCharacterAgeDarkSecretPrideBirthGayDignityTwentiesBoundsGravesMysteriousMannersFirmFrankModestyDecencyRespectfulSeemingBe Respectful Author:Lord Chesterfield

When I was twenty and felt that nobody could know I was gay, I was having sex with strangers in public parks. I don't think it was evil exactly, but it wasn't so great either. There was nobody particularly benefiting from it, except, I suppose, to the extent that it gave some pleasure to me and perhaps whomever I was with.” ThinkingKnowsIdeasEvilSexFeltPleasureGayTwentiesStrangerParksIndulgenceHaving Sex Author:Andrew Solomon
