Paperback. Condizione: New. Twenty-four-year-old Billy is beautiful and sexy. Albert-The Pharmacist-is a compelling but damaged older man, and a veteran of London's late '90s club scene. After a chance meeting in the heart of the London's East End, Billy is seduced into the sphere of Albert. An unconventional friendship develops…, fuelled by Albert's queer narratives and an endless supply of narcotics. Alive with the twilight times between day and night, consciousness and unconsciousness, the foundations of Billy's life begin to irrevocably shift and crack, as he fast-tracks toward manhood. This story of lust, love and loss is homoerotic bildungsroman at its finest.'As lubricious as early Alan Hollinghurst, The Pharmacist is a welcome reissue from Inkandescent and the perfect introduction to a singular voice in gay literature.' THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'At the heart of David's The Pharmacist is an oddly touching and bizarre love story, a modern day Harold and Maude set in the drugged-up world of pre-gentrification Shoreditch. The dialogue, especially, bristles with glorious life.' -JONATHAN KEMP, author of London Triptych?"An exploration of love and loss in the deathly hallows of twenty-first century London. Justin David's prose is as sharp as a hypodermic needle. Unflinching, uncomfortable but always compelling, The Pharmacist finds the true meaning of love in the most unlikely places."-NEIL McKENNA, author of Fanny and Stella.

Paperback. Condizione: New. We are all connectedIf Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result. Threads is the first collection from Nathan Evans, each poem complemented by a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel's illustrations for Carroll, picture and word weft and warp to create an alc…hemic (rabbit) whole.On one page, the image of an alien costume, hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line, accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another displaced alien on an urban train. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter. 'In this bright and beautiful collaboration, poetry and photography join hands, creating sharp new ways to picture our lives and loves. Every page delighted me.'-NEIL BARTLETT'A winning blend of words and images, woven with passion and wit'-PAUL BURSTON'Two boldly transgressive poetic voices'-MARISA CARNESKY.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'Poignant, humane and uncompromising'-STEPHEN MORRISON-BURKEAs King Cnut proved, tide and time wait for no man: An AnthropoScene, the first part of this collection, dives into the rising tides of geo-political change, the second, Our Future Is Now Downloading, explores sea changes of more personal nat…ures. Nathan's debut, Threads, was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize. His follow-up bears all the watermarks of someone who's swum life's emotional spectrum. Short and (bitter)sweet, this is poetry for a mobile generation, poetry for sharing - often humorous, always honest about contemporary human experience, saying more in a few lines than politicians say in volumes, it offers an antidote to modern living.'Evans' poetry addresses the environmental apocalypse with biting wit and electrifying passion.' -MATTHEW TODD, author of Straight Jacket and Pride'A kaleidoscopic journey brimming with vivid imagery, playfulness and warmth-a truly powerful work.'-KEITH JARRETT'Story weaving and poetically burrowing, CNUT is a universal backyard collection of the urban/urbane reimagined, of the domestic/fantastic retold, of the ravishingly re-readable.'-GERRY POTTER.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Just one shimmering pearl of wisdom from popstar and polymath James Maker, whose worldly observations will (like herpes) once again be on everyone's lips thanks to his Polari Prizewinning memoir, remastered with new chapters and never-before-seen photographs. If you hadn't heard of rock bands Raymonde… or RPLA - fronted by James in the 80s and 90s - you might be forgiven for mistaking AutoFellatio for fiction. But here fact is more fantastical than any novel, as we follow our hero from Bermondsey enfant terrible to Valencian grande dame, a scenic journey that stops off variously at Morrissey confidant, dominatrix, singer, songwriter and occasional actor, and is literally littered with memorable bons mots and hilarious anecdotes that make you feel like you've hit the wedding reception jackpot of being unexpectedly seated next to the groom's flamboyant uncle. According to Wikipedia, very few men can perform the act of autofellatio; we never discover whether James is one of them but certainly, as a storyteller, he is one in a million.

When Jamie meets Matthew in Soho, he's drawn to his new-age charms. But when he follows his new friend across the p…lanet to a remote earthship in Taos, bizarre incidents begin unfolding and Matthew's real nature reveals itself: he's a manipulative monster embroiled in a strange cult.

Pushed to his limits, lost in a shifting sagebrush landscape, can Jamie trust anyone to help him? And will he ever see home again.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellenSherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey - where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family - ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richa…rd Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father - a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London - a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early - a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.Editor Nathan Evans says, 'It's an honour to be working with Martin on his memoir: he's such an important cultural figure, and a mentor for me, personally. I remember being nineteen, sat in the back of my parents' car surrounded by boxes: I was on my way back to university, learning lines for a play I was in later that term. Mum turned around and asked what it was about; I didn't need to answer: I simply showed her the cover, with those four bold letters. Although it would take her some more months to ask the next question, she knew then; I am just one of the many, many young men - from 1979 right through to the present - who've been so emboldened by Bent. This is the story of the man who had the honesty, and the bravery to write it.'.

Mark's battle to secure a public enquiry into the Infected Blood Scandal-which is finally due to report in May-has led him to places he never expected, and to meet people he never dreamt of.'Mark is a survivor, literally, of the HIV visited upon him through contaminated blood, but rather than merely revelling in the simple fact of life, he has heroically dedicated himself to ensuring life remains possible for others.'-Sam Stein KCThis forthright (and fabulous) memoir, recounts the journey of an unlikely lad from Letchworth who grows up to be a renowned and respected rights campaigner. With foreword by Sam Stein KC.Publisher Justin David says, 'Ward's story is testimony to our capacity to overcome adversity. Through recounting his own harrowing experiences-as a haemophiliac tainted by the tragic legacy of contaminated blood-he sheds light on the plight of others affected by this injustice, igniting a powerful call for compassion, and compensation. Bleeding Fabulous is not just a memoir; it's a testament to the indomitable strength of the human heart.'.

On an undercover assignment, a secret world is revealed to Raymond: a world in which he need no longer pretend to be something or someone he cannot be; a world in which he meets Joey.Like so many men of his time and of his kind, Raymond faces a choice between conformity, courage and compartmentalisation.

And the healing begins.I Am not Raymond Wallace is a multi-stranded story of queer redemption spanning multiple generations, told with precision-tooled prose, sharply-imagined settings and compassionately-observed characterisation.
