Colm T ib n knows the languages of the outsider, the secret keeper, the gay man or woman. He knows the covert and overt language of homosexuality in literature. In Love in a Dark Time, he also describes the solace of finding like-minded companions through reading. T ib n examines the life and work of some of the greatest and most influential writers of the past two centuries, figures whose homosexuality remained hidden or oblique for much of their lives, either by choice or necessity. The larger world couldn't know about their sexuality, but in their private lives, and in the spirit of their work, the laws of desire defined their expression. This is an intimate encounter with Mann, Baldwin, Bishop, and with the contemporary poets Thom Gunn and Mark Doty. Through their work, T ib n is able to come to terms with his own inner desires - his interest in secret erotic energy, his admiration for courageous figures, and his abiding fascination with sadness and tragedy. T ib n looks both at writers forced to disguise their true experience on the page and at readers who find solace and sexual identity by reading between the lines. | Love in a Dark Time by Colm Toibin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
