What to expect
Set in New Orleans and featuring a colourful cast of louche but loveable characters, the story follows Titania through the backstreets, bars and club of the French Quarter in search of the perfect lover – the Gaudy Image.
Originally published in Europe in the 50s to avoid prosecution for obscenity, The Gaudy Image is one of the most important ‘lost’ gay novels.
A beautifully written story that is both elegant and caustically humorous, erotic and sympathetic.
For fans of Dorothy Baker, Bryan Washington and Zak Salih.
