Description

Jonathan Dollimore's memoir is a poignant exploration of human desire, weaving together recollections of struggle, love, literature and loss. Through his experiences in the gay subcultures of late twentieth-century New York, Brighton and Sydney, Dollimore recounts a life marked by both joy and tragedy. With effortless balance between the comic and the tragic, Dollimore's narrative offers a deeply personal yet universally relatable account of suffering and longing. This is a story of one man's search for meaning in a world that was both liberating and devastatingly cruel. A candid and nuanced portrayal of life in a rapidly changing world, Jonathan Dollimore's memoir is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
