Stan Hart's life is the story of an American coming of age in the era between the Great Depression and the late '60s.
Born to a well-to-do Connecticut manufacturing family, Hart grew up in comfortable but unsophisticated circumstances. Afflicted with a severe stammer, Hart lived in speechless awe of his stern, heroic, tight-lipped and relentlessly cheerful father. He pitied his mother, once beautiful, who, stricken with a chronic disease, became an alcoholic.
Desperate for a role in life and buoyed by a constant flow of alcohol, Hart later blundered about town in New York and Europe, on the edge of cafe society, pursuing every girl who appeared willing. Despite marriage, he remained a loner. For a time, he found work that sustained him in the respectable Boston publishing world, where he embarked upon a compromising relationship with his best known author, the playwright, Lillian Hellman.
Hart's savage self assessment reveals a man at sea in a sexual wilderness and frank about his missed opportunities, failure, and confusions. Hart's story will touch anyone who has struggled to come to terms with the challenges life poses along the way regarding sexuality, family, marriage, work and the drive to find purpose in existence. Throughout, portions of the narrative have been fictionalized to protect the participants. However, the whole conveys an essential truth - the result is a rare form of autobiographical honesty.
