These days we are all less bound by gender and traditional roles, but is there more discussion about what being a man means. From veteran to vicar, from porn addict to prostate cancer survivor, men from all walks of life share honest reflections about their bodies, sexuality, relationships, fatherhood, work and health in this pioneering book.
Teas’ prose is wonderful, Queer, lusciously Lesbo, darkly Dykey and frothy, filthy and fun. It’s a seriously gripping and evocative tale of Queer women love in all the messy hyper clarity colourful mixed up ways that Tea can tweak and twist her lady loving ideas into.
Ackroyd connects us modern day queers up with our Celtic and Roman forbearers and all the benders, faggots, dykes, trannies, queers, inverts, perverts, queens, Ganymede’s, sappho’s, cross dressers, gender twisters, fops, dandies, genderqueers and utterly baroque non binary beauties (and run of the mill) gay boys in between. Who were all after the same things, same sex love, identity on their own terms and sex and often going about it in surprisingly familiar ways.
A seriously good Queer read. Validating, interesting and endlessly fascinating.
