| Synopsis: |
The narrator of this extraordinary narrative is Mark Sheridan. Born into the theatrical family of his uncle, R.B Sheridan, he recounts his years with a travelling theatre company, and his turbulent love affair with Esmond, a young actor. Interwoven are flashbacks to his turbulent earlier life and a pre-war world long vanished, his childhood in China, his schooldays in Paris, the months in St Petersburg at the beginning of the 1905 revolution; threading through them all, his awakening sexuality. For men such as he, these were dangerous times. Ruin and imprisonment were their oft companions. TIME AND PLACE is the author's desire to reclaim their lives, to write the book that Marcel Proust and E.M. Forster were unable to; a picaresque journey of a young homosexual in the early nineteenth century and his attempt to understand the unstoppable currents of his life. |
