James Baldwin being right again: ‘Art has to be a kind of confession…The effort, it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover, too, the terms with which they are connected to other people.’

Good news! You can preorder The Two Roberts, my new novel, as a Christmas gift. It won’t arrive until Sept BUT it gives your friend with great reading taste something to look forward to. It’s a big gay love story based on two real artists who met in 1933… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🧑‍🎨 🌈 📕 www.waterstones.com/book/the-two...
