| Synopsis: |
This is an intimate memoir of a gay film fan born in South East London in 1939. Nigel Quiney writes with searing honesty about his personal and business life and succeeds in painting a picture of the generation which emerged after rationing and war shortages ended in the early fifties. As his chapter headings testify, American films provided the hope and the perspectives of this generation when the better times finally arrived, against which background his own adolescent discoveries of teenage life and his own sexuality are poignantly and superbly related - at times, touchingly sad and at others hilariously funny. |
