Quote from this book "When Stanley Saul received the phone call that changed his life, he was in his Manhattan apartment. It was Labor Day weekend 1978, and he could have been at Egg Harbor, New Jersey, in the summer house he shared with his lover, Philip Perl. But Stanley had decided not to take time off that weekend, so Perl had gone to the country without him, bringing along a couple of house guests. When Stanley picked up the phone on Saturday morning, one of those guests was on the other end of the line. 'Stanley, I have bad news. It's Phil. I think he may have died. I called an ambulance, but he's lying very still.'" opening paragraphs of Tim Dlugos' "Gay Widows", p43 Secondhand booksellers |
