BESIDE MY SELF is ‘about growing up, growing older and coming to terms with the world.’ It reveals some of the things Michael has valued and treasured and combines them with stories of people, places, events and ideas that have shaped his queer sensibilities.
Table des matières
Beside My Self uses pieces of china and other objects to engage with friendship, gift giving, regimes of taste, sexual politics, writing and the formation of the author’s queer sensibilities. The narrator’s voice is variously laconic, wry, mischievous, thoughtful and informative.
