Three Queer Lives: An Alternative Biography of Fred Barnes, Naomi Jacob And Arthur Marshall: An Alternative Biography of Naomi Jacob, Fred Barnes and Arthur Marshall - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
THREE QUEER LIVES is an account of the lives of two extraordinary men and one extraordinary woman. Fred Barnes was a famous 1920's music-hall star who committed suicide in poignant circumstances in digs in Southend; Arthur Marshall a much-loved radio and TV personality; and Naomi Jacob a bestselling but now forgotten novelist of the 1930s and 40s who set up a female menage a trois in Italy. In a long autobiographical introduction Bailey vividly describes gay life when it was still illegal, and how he became fascinated by these three characters, all gay in more senses than one.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This work presents the stories of two remarkable men and an extraordinary woman, and how they lived in an age when gayness was reviled and outlawed. Paul Bailey's interest in Naomi Jacob was awakened in 1959, when he waited on her in Harrods's book department under the impression that she was J.B. Priestley. "Micky" Jacob was the author of dozens of bestselling novels, and several volumes of autobiography, which can be found today in charity shops. Fred Barnes, who survived an attempted murder by his father, was a singer, dancer and light comedian at the beginning of the century. His is a classic riches-to-rags story, his downfall foreshadowed by two very public events. Arthur Marshall who completes the trio, is the sunniest presence here, chuckling his way through the World War II and becoming a much-loved television personality in old age. In a personal introduction, Paul Bailey describes how he came to be fascinated by these very different human beings, all gay in more senses than one. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001467664
