Forty Lies

This anagram of a book, is a vaguely chronological patchwork of forty(ish) personal stories, that don't bear too much factual scrutiny, yet are as real and honest as need be, following the trials of Coming Out, the Age of Consent, family rejection, dodgy boyfriends, police swoops, the enemy without, queer bashers, the stern presence of HIV/AIDS, the loathsome Section 28, the friends the outrage and the outrageous, the fun, the sex, the scene, Love, Equal, Marriage and bereavement... This is the history of every 70 year old gay man in Britain today.
