Описание: This book will concentrate on both aspects, their creative genius and their need for a second form of beauty, that of the boys their art attracted--followed, later, by boys drawn to the money it engendered. Their incessant work allowed them to buy the objects of their lust, especially in the Europe of Paris and Rome and Venice, of Taormina, Capri and Ischia, as well as back home in the States, during the war when the blackout made California beaches a jungle of bodies, mostly those of sailors and soldiers. Capote, for me, was the greatest American writer to have lived, and Tennessee was Americas never-equaled playwright; Vidal was a chronicler of an America gone forever and Denham a source of inspiration who played his role to the hilt, beginning with his startling lifestyle and his absolute determination to be the worlds best-kept male whore, to turn day into never-ending night, sighs into memories his men would never forget. Of them all, only Isherwood came away with the worlds greatest prize, a boy who loved him even beyond his last breath.These men have their own biographers, which is a godsend because it allows me to do what I do best: separate the wheat from the chaff, reducing the bulk of my subjects lives to a concentrated perfume. It allows me to focus on their salad days, when the sap runs free and lust is at the corner of every street, promising encounters at every crossroads.In old age Tennessee compared himself to Hans Christian Andersons The Snow Queen who had a splinter of ice in his heart and couldnt feel anything; Vidal, the man who got the last drop of media mileage from his talent, said he had no warmth, and for the majority of those who attempted to break through the ice they found the interior even more frozen; and Denham Fouts, of whom Capote wrote, Sour, sour, sour, rotten to the core.
