Riassunto

In THREE QUEER LIVES, Paul Bailey dissects the lives of two extraordinary men and one remarkable woman who defied the sexual prejudices of their age and lived by their own rules. Richly anecdotal and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, it tells the riches-to-rags story of Fred Barnes, a singer, dancer, comedian and scourge of the military; Naomi Jacob, a terrible but prolific novelist, broadcaster and cross-dresser; and Arthur Marshall, wit, television personality and 'portly sunbeam'.
In a long autobiographical introduction, Bailey vividly describes gay life when it was still illegal, and how he became fascinated by these three characters, all gay in more senses than one.
