Description
James Courage Diaries by Chris Brickell Born in Christchurch in 1903, James Courage's life was marked by his experiences as a gay man in New Zealand and London. His private diary, spanning from 1920 to 1963, offers a unique glimpse into his inner world. Courage's writing is characterized by its engaging honesty, lively intelligence, and whimsical sense of humour. He recorded his personal triumphs and struggles with remarkable candour, providing an intimate look at life on long ocean voyages, in air raid shelters during the war, and in the psychiatrist's clinic where he sought refuge. This diary provides a fascinating insight into Courage's life, revealing a complex and multifaceted individual who navigated the challenges of his time with remarkable resilience.
