reviews_and_ramblingsBen Tyler: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/2918678.html
Ben Tyler works for a studio in Hollywood. He is also the U.S. correspondent for a London magazine. The darker side of Jordan’s talents are evident in TRICKS OF THE TRADE: Being gay in Hollywood is never easy. But thanks to his homophobic female boss, Bart Cain's life is a living hell. The disgruntled staff writer would like nothing better than to retire to a picturesque Scottish village-- preferably with a hot literary career and a hotter houseboy. But first, he has an axe to grind...
Brian Howard & Sam Langford: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/4134075.html
Brian Howard was an English poet, whose work belied a spectacularly precocious start in life; in the end he became more of a journalist, writing for the New Statesman. Sam Langford was the Irish-born companion to Brian Howard, from 1943 onwards. Like Howard, Langford became addicted to drugs. He died in his bath when he was gassed by a faulty water heater at the house he shared with Howard in the south of France. A few days later, Howard committed suicide by taking an overdose of sedatives.

Jared French was an American painter who specialized in the medium of egg tempera. In 1925 he met and befriended Cadmus in New York City.

For the next 8 years Cadmus and the Frenches summered on Fire Island and formed a photographic collective called PaJaMa ("Paul, Jared, and Margaret"). French left the USA and died, in seclusion, in Rome, in 1988.

I'm very happy that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I'm just very happy."

"Like all the dead and the living, I think I see him everywhere. But it is just new versions, young versions of guys like Stan. Most of us seem to be re-created every 15 years. I see a twenty-year-old me almost once a month, and a twenty-year-old, forty-year-old, sixty-year-old Stan passes by on the street often enough." -- Sarah Schulman
