Om denne bog

Manhattan, 1963: weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy, fresh-faced Raymond Wallace lands in the New York Times newsroom on a three-month bursary from Cambridge University. He soon discovers his elusive boss, Bukowski, is being covertly blackmailed by an estranged wife, and that he himself is to assist the straight-laced Doty on an article about the ''explosion of overt homosexuality'' in the city. 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. The decision he makes will ricochet destructively through lives and decades until-in another time, another city; in Paris, 2003-Raymond''s son Joe finally meets Joey. And the healing begins. 


I Am not Raymond Wallace is a heartrending and mending story spanning generations and continents, told with precision-tooled prose, sharply-imagined settings and compassionately-observed characterisation. 


''Taking as his starting-point a real-life moment of queer history from 1960s New York, Sam Kenyon spins a marvellously stylish and often unexpected story.'' 

NEIL BARTLETT 


''A joyous literary triumph that moved me to tears.''
