Gay Fiction
Condition: Good Cover slightly stained / discoloured and cuffed; spine unbroken but faded. Ink inscription on pre-title. Pages foxed but unbent. Plot / Content: "Of the fourteen stories included in this volume (all written between 1903 and 1958) only two appeared in print before the author's death. The earlier stories suffered from Forster's sensitivity about rejection slips: but eight of the stories, continuing the theme of Maurice, portray love - or at any rate passionate and violent sexual relations - between man and man against a social setting that condemned it. They help to explain the 'block' which thwarted Forster's talent after A Passage to India." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Born 1979, died 1970, writer of several highly-praised novels (Howard's End, A Passage to India etc) whose talent and life was limited by his inability to fully embrace his homosexuality. Reviews: Although many critics consider these stories do not reflect Forster's real abilities, the Sunday Telegraph, according to the cover of this edition, commented, "Whether the mood is gay, satirical or deeply concerned, the whole collection is for the most part beautifully written and has a freshness, sparkle and bite."
