In this hypnotically beautiful, haunting novel, Christopher Coe evokes a lost world of gay pleasure and privilege in the 1970s and early 80s, juxtaposed with the tragic years of loss afterwards. Over the course of Jasper and Timothy’s twenty-year relationship, Coe crafts a deeply moving work that elegantly, indelibly evokes a lost paradise and its tragic fall.

Archway Editions spent years tracking down the rights and researching his life; this volume will also feature never-before-seen photographs and testimony from those who knew him – far more than a reissue, this is a celebration of a life and of an unjustly forgotten writer.
