This is it the real deal up close and personal. .......2007-09-14
This is a book by Freddie's personal assisant who lived right along side him. Almost as good as being there yourself. As far as a Freddie a biography this is at the top of the list along with Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton. It's good great pictures too. I highly recommend this book and I like to think of myself as a Freddie connoisseur. Can you ever really get enough Freddie stuff. I think not.
I COULD NOT GIVE THIS BOOK AWAY.......2007-06-13
I do not care how you feel about Freddie or people who lived his lifestyle. THE BOOK IS TERRIBLE AND THE PICTURES ARE A JOKE. I could not even give this book away to the public library!
You can read better and more accurate material for free online. There are many fansites that have reproductions of interviews conducted with Freddie and the other Queen members. A year or so ago, a trade publication dedicated the entire magazine to Queen and I learn new information.
Take my advice and search the web for information and photographs, you will be glad you did.
a great account of life with Freddie Mercury.......2007-01-26
Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury's personal assistant from 1979 until Freddie's death in 1991. In that time, Peter found himself in the midst of many interesting scenarios, many of which are chronicled in his book. Peter's detailed account of the layout of Garden Lodge (Freddie's palatial home in the Kensington section of London) is especially noteworthy. Peter went around the world with Freddie, experienced many tours, witnessed many recording sessions and video shoots, met many people who came and went in Freddie's life, and was even with Freddie during his declining years. One can tell his loyalty to Freddie was steadfast. Even though I favor Jim Hutton's book over all other books written about Freddie Mercury, this one still gets my stamp of approval, and I would still recommend it.
Freddie Mercury handbook.......2006-03-20
Most complete biography of Freddie Mercury that I've seen. It really takes you inside Freddie's world. After reading it, I almost felt like I knew him. A must have for any Queen fan.
Good Read.......2006-02-25
I enjoyed reading the life of Freddie Mercury on the stage and in his personal life. He was very generous to those who were close to him.

The Intimate Connection: Male Sexuality, Masculine Spiritual.......2002-12-03
Men are interested in men but usually get to know about each other through competition. The ultimate competition is war, the ultimate intimacy for men is war. How best do you get to know your opponent, you see how he fights. Men start wars. Peace will have to come from men then as well. We will need to get in touch with each other literally and figuratively, and it must find a peaceful means, this will be sexual and spiritual . Male to male attractions will have to overcome homophobia. James Nelson helps us take a look at that reality. He is honest and sound in his theology. You always like the works that you agree with especially when they offer you a new insight, new angle, new perspective, and scholarship your background does not afford you. Nelson's is a fresh work , easy read, yet has depth in his honest self disclosure. As peacemakers men will have to allow intimacy and physical intimacy will be a challenge for we seem to automatically link intimacy with genital sexuality. If we link intimacy with our spirituality we will see again the sexual. How do men learn to interact spiritually and sexually with each other and not genitally. Nelson raises the question and starts your thought but does not resolve the tension with a solution. But he serves us by helping us to acknowledge the nature of the problem of men getting to know men in meaningful not competative ways. Spirit, sex, homophobia, are well defined and he helps create a framework to move from, to move toward peace.
Explores the integration of soul, diety, ownership of self.......1996-10-10
Several of James Nelson's books, have formed a foundation for my understing of myself in the context of, and relaitionship with God/faith. "The Intimate Connection" directs the reader's attention to specific areas of sexuality and a man's relationship to God, of a man's view and acceptence of himself in his totality as being key to his acceptence of God as living and vital. The book is based on Nelson's views of the embodiment of God and Christ.

Book Description
Long before Stonewall, young Air Force veteran Edward Field, fresh from combat in WWII, threw himself into New York’s literary bohemia, searching for fulfillment as a gay man and poet. In this vivid account of his avant-garde years in Greenwich Village and the bohemian outposts of Paris’s Left Bank and Tangier—where you could write poetry, be radical, and be openly gay—Field’s intimate portraits of literary contemporaries such as Susan Sontag, Alfred Chester, May Swenson, and Frank O’Hara bring back the sadness, bawdiness, humor, and romanticism of the nigh-forgotten postwar bohemian subculture.

Alfred (not Arthur) Chester Is the Man -- But Do You Care?.......2007-09-11
The man who would marry Susan Sontag was Alfred Chester, a dislikeable gay writer with a great literary brain. If the now known identity of the mysterious titled man isn't good enough to make you want to read the book, please read on. If it is, you should stop reading and buy the book immediately.
Edward Field is a plain-spoken, secularist poet, yet the best (and most interesting) aspect of his memoir is his chapter on G.I. Gurdjieff and the equally mysterious novelist, Fritz Peters -- despite the fact that most of the memoir is devoted to Alfred Chester and author Paul Bowles. Also Fields' remarks about Peter Ouspensky, a student of Gurdjieff at one point in time, are sufficiently weighty as to have caused this reader to toss out his own copies of "Tertrium Organum" and "In Search of the Miraculous" and onto the pile of books going to the used book store or Goodwill.
Fields wants to make the case that Susan Sontag was somehow responsible for Alfred Chester's death, a contention that has no real evidence but which reads more as bitchiness and jealousy toward a strong intellectual woman, thus making an unattractive self-portrait.
The memoir at times is tedious and over-detailed in its study of minor artists even while it peaks a certain curiosity in, for example, Richard Howard's non-fiction writing and, say, the poetry of Gerald Locklin.
This memoir is well-written but it is, I think, eccentrically focused.
A Closet in Bohemia?.......2007-04-06
[...]
The bohemian scene in New York was one that consisted of many members from the world of literature. Edward Field was a member of that group. He like others was searching for achievement and fulfillment as both a gay man and as a poet. With four collections of poetry to his credit--two of which were prize winners--who better can describe the vibrant scene at that time? He writes about the avant garde in Greenwich Village as well as of what was going on in the salons of the Left Bank in Paris and in the outpost of Tangiers. It was possible to be openly gay in those places outside of America and he provides us with exciting portraits of some of the people of letters of the time--Susan Sontag, Alfred Chester, May Swenson, James Baldwin, Paul Bowles and Frank O'Hara. In doing so he gives a lively look at the romantic age when Bohemia was an alternative lifestyle.
Edward Field, the author of this book, is plain-spoken as well as out spoken. He tells it like it was in this wonderful book at an age that contributed so much to the world of literature. At 70 years old, he manages to bring the bohemia of the 1950's to life once again. What he has written is a reminiscence which is made up of many little stories of people he knew, This is neither a social nor a literary history but a look at that group of people who chose to live as they saw fit. I suppose the book can be classified as a memoir which is centered on the sexual escapades of the people Field writes about. He describes for us the fertility of American artistry and does so with cheek and with openness. The focus is not exactly centered as the information is but it is beautifully written and so much fun to read.
The salons of Greenwich Village brought us so much and the stories continue to keep coming. Field was there--in the midst of it all--and has something to say about what was transpiring. It is half gossip and the other half fascinating stories and some of the details are amazing. The literary world of the time was primarily carried by gays and lesbians and we know they have stores to tell. The writers that Field tells about are colorful people and their stories are all part of a larger whole crafted by this wonderful writer---he is candid and he is very perceptive (we should all be thankful for his memory). As a picture of Americana and literature, this is the book to read. As for the title, you will have to read the book to find out what it means.

memoir of the 1950s and Beat era mostly in Greenwich Village.......2006-02-23
Field, an award-winning gay poet now in his seventies, brings the bohemianism of the 1950s alive. The content is a reminiscence made up mostly of vignettes of individuals Field knew rather than literary or social history; though the impress of the bohemianism centered in Greenwich Village on American literature and culture comes out. Susan Sontag, James Baldwin, May Swenson, Paul Bowles, and Frank O'Hara all make appearances, along with numerous other famed artists and little-known, yet still colorful individuals including the author's partner Neil Derrick. The six-page index consists entirely of the names of individuals Field portrays to varying degrees. Much of the memoir focuses on the sexual escapades and relationships of many characters and how the author and others got by as homosexuals in this era when this was not as open as it is today, yet nonetheless accepted in the limited, adventurous world of Greenwich Village. For Field's position in the local art scene, his wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and his extended treatment of the libertine sexual activity, the work is a basic source on this notable, particularly fertile vein of American artistic creativity.

Jerky Quotes, Infantile Interviews, and Useless Trivia.......2002-05-04
The most desirable men on earth have been interviewed by some brainless author. These well recognized and respectable actors of porn must have been paid top bucks to be interviewed by some prebuscent interviewer...that's fine...but the results are an insult to any intelligence!
O.K Book!.......2001-01-23
This book is fine!I was kinda disappointed that the pictures was not that all great.Those guys was not a cute and sexy as I expected them to be.Some of the story was pretty lame and boring too.
Great Title, Crappy Book.......2000-10-02
I'm not saying that porn stars are the most intelligent people in the world, but the quotes are STUPID! I'm sure porn stars have more going on up there than what they're made out to be in the book. The stories are boring. It's like the author was sitting a restaurant near a porn star's table, and overheard only part of what the porn star saying to his friends and tried to write a book about it. The pictures area all in black and white, and there are only a few pictures of any stars of any interest. Most of the stars are "bear types." Not that that's bad, but if you're not into bears.... All and all, this book is a coffee table book, that should be better kept under the coffee table's short leg to keep the table and your coffee cup from tipping over.
Too Tame to Tittilate.......2000-05-04
Having met and known a number of porn stars during the years that I lived in Washington, DC, I've come to expect that they can be funny, insightful, or at least have an interesting point of view on life's practicalities.
I was expecting some degree of this wit or practical wisdom from this book, but I was terribly disappointed. Further, I think anyone who's read the clever interviews by Jamoo in "Freshmen" magazine will find these snippets really lacking.
If you're looking for something that's both clever and interesting about the porn industry, I'd recommend the video "Shooting Porn," which has far hotter images and far more interesting comments from the participants.
The most entertaining and thought provoking humor book out........1999-10-21
I re-read this book today as I was just sitting around and watching the rain fall. Not only did I get "excited", but I laughed and sighed with pleasure all at the same time.
Can't wait for the sequel or ANY other new books written by this remarkable author extraordinaire !

Book Description
From the late 1920's through the early 1950's, photographer George Platt Lynes, painter Paul Cadmus, and critic Lincoln Kirstein helped to create and define the aesthetic and institutions of the American art world. With an overlapping circle of friends, lovers, collaborators, and models, Cadmus, Platt Lynes, and Kirstein created a world of gay esthetics and desire in art that was groundbreaking at the time and remarkable even today. Through hours of conversation with surviving members of their circle as well as unprecedented access to papers, journals, and previously unreleased photographs, David Leddick has brought to vivid life the lives and loves, connections and interconnections, and the inspirations and influences of this now vanished art world.Meticulously researched, completely forthright, and lavishly illustrated, Intimate Companions is a celebration of the art, the lives, and the impact of this groundbreaking circle.
Customer Reviews:
a great tri-ography!.......2007-05-12
leddick's book about the lives and loves of lynes, cadmus and kirstein is one of the best!
it's informative, entertaining and a revelation for someone that is a fan of either new york city ballet or the beauteous photographs of george platt lynes. these men were the among the most complex men of arts in the last century. and lynes was even more complex because he was somewhat of an enigma, a self-styled court jester to the 1920 euro-american jet set and literati that got a life when he picked up a camera and began to document his contemporaries.
cadmus, by contrast, was the closest to a family man, painting a variety of portraits that documented the crazy seedy life of the west village but choosing to live a domesticated existence with his longtime partner in the countryside of upstate new york(i think, do not hold me to that).
but in addition to these lives, which leddick brings to life with humor and a economical approach to his prose, he also weaves in the stories of nycb dancers jose martinez, nicholas magallanes, frank moncion and tanaquil leclercq; other artists such as glenway westcott, leonard bernstein and monroe wheeler and the beautiful hangers-on that modelled for these men and provided characters that would become parts of novels they would write.
it's a world that various artists have tried to reconstruct and failed because of lack of talent or too many chemicals but this one time was definitely enough because it was definitely the right mix of people at the right time.
Mr. Leddick Tries To Do Too Much........2003-07-11
I picked up this book because I like the work of George Platt Lynes and Paul Cadmus a lot. I also read and liked very much Mr. Leddick's first novel and own a couple of his books on male nude photography. (I have little interest in Lincoln Kirstein or ballet either.) I finished this book not having learned much about either of these two men that I cared to remember. Part of the problem is that Mr. Leddick attempts too much. He is art critic, photography critic, dance critic, literary critic as well as consummate gossip. Additionally since there are no footnotes in this book, the reader has no idea whether Leddick's conclusions about anything are his or something he gleaned from the list of sources at the back of the book. Take the opening sentence from Leddick's chapter on Katherine Anne Porter: "Katherine Anne Porter is among the most esteemed women writers of the twentieth century in America." Is that Mr. Leddick's opinion-- and what qualifies him to make such a judgment-- or the literary critics who tell us whom we should read? Incidentally, Ms. Porter comes off as a most distasteful person. Mr. Leddick paints her as homophobic although she obviously hung out with a lot of people whose lives she couldn't tolerate. He might have discussed her racism as well if he wanted to really give us a rounded view of this pretty ugly woman.
I would have preferred more insight into what made Mr. Lynes one of America's great photographers and less information and speculation as to whom he did bed or might have taken to bed. Mr. Leddick does discuss at some length many of Cadmus' paintings. Without the actual reproductions preferably in color, however, it is impossible to know whether or not this writer has a clue as to what he is discussing.
Mr. Leddick does briefly discuss Lynes' influence on later photographers, particularly Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts. For my money, Lynes is the best photographer of the male nude this country has had. His studio lighting is creative and quite wonderful. Just look at the photographs of anyone who followed him to see the long shadow he cast. (And all this inventive and difficult lighting before the strobe. At least there were no monotonous umbrella reflections in the eyes of Lynes' models.) Robert Mapplethorpe--whose work I admire a lot-- but who lit every photograph he ever took pretty much the same way-- could certainly have learned a plenty from studying Lynes' lighting.
So if you want to appreciate these two men-- study their works and made your own judgments. Mr. Leddick has edited a fine book on Mr. Lynes' photographs and there are several fine books on Cadmus in color.
[weak].......2003-03-31
This is an abyssally written, horribly researched, inaccurate, unorganized babble of idle gossip about some truly great artists and writers. The author should not attempt to write about things beyond his limited ken. What a travesty that a publisher would agree to print such garbage!
an ardent fan of Paul Cadmus's work.......2002-07-08
My sole reason for acquiring this book was to learn more of the very private-seeming artist Paul Cadmus and to uderstand how he and Lincoln Kirstein came to be inlaws. As a result of the focus on George Platt Lynes, I will pursue more of his work as well. This narrative/history clarifies the various Cadmus paintings featuring Platt Lynes, Monroe Wheeler, and Glenway Westcott plus additional models. Personally, their sexual orientation is of no interest to me. Their art and contributions to art are indisputable. I enjoyed Mr. Leddick's presentation, which was fun and breezy. I look forward to locating Platt Lynes exhibitions and hope to view original Cadmus paintings before long. As for Jared French, imagine my surprise to discover a painting of his at the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, NY. Not once was there a single mention that any of these gentlemen might be fans of baseball, but you just never know, do you.
I've stepped in deeper puddles.......2002-01-26
As shallow look at some shallow men, specialy Platt Lynes. Only Paul Cadmus seems to have some reedeming qualities, and he is portrayed as undersexed and remote. I am glad I did not know any of these men.

Book Description
Against My Better Judgment: An Intimate Memoir of an Eminent Gay Psychologist is an extraordinary and moving account of the life of a gay man in his late 60s after he loses his companion of 40 years to cancer. A leading professor of psychology at Harvard University, Roger Brown bravely comes forth with his compelling story of grief, loneliness, and a relentless search for intimacy, healing, and self-acceptance. Readers gain insight into a stage of life experienced by gay men of which little is written or spoken due to the ageism that characterizes homosexual culture.
Against My Better Judgment reveals deeply personal truths that will prepare gay men for what to expect in the later stages of life. Universal in nature, these truths will speak to readers from various lifestyles and of all ages. Readers will recognize the book as a story of looking for love in all the wrong places, but will also see in it a process of discovery--both internal and external.
In the aftermath of his lover's death, Brown turns to prostitutes for companionship, for relieving repressed sexual energy, and even for love. Through his unique relationships with three young men, he does not find the romantic love he so desperately seeks, but discovers that his idea of human nature has been formed by his particular life position and association with people who share his values, knowledge, and privileges. Once he goes outside his social and intellectual circle, he acquires a new perspective on life and realizes how far from universal truth his notions of humanity have been.
Readers of Against My Better Judgment will gain a different perspective on the complexities of love, relationships, fidelity, human nature, and the hardships of life inevitably faced by all humans--straight, gay, or bisexual. Gay men, lesbians, psychologists, widowers, therapists, and anthropologists, as well as sensitive readers of any background, will heighten their understanding of what it means to be human. This remarkable story makes a tremendous contribution to existing gay literature and the timeless struggle of art and literature to make sense of the universe and the place of humans within it. Echoing life, Against My Better Judgment, with its brutal honesty, intrigues and repels alternately, just as it elicits both sadness and laughter.

...And Beyond His Full Comprehension or Control?.......2004-06-26
Well, a 65-year-old distinguished social scientist at Harvard loses his male lover of 40 years, and also retires. And for the next five years, to cope, he pursues young men, specifically "escorts," a.k.a. hustlers or male prostitutes or callboys. Pursues them with money, and with love, but also for their love or companionship. The book is his candid memoir of that turbulent interlude "with" the three "boys" Grant, Skip, and Patrick..
You can imagine the dismal results. Especially because underlying his five-year pursuit seems to be his life-long volatile personality structure. (Should the social psychologist, have undergone psychoanalysis earlier? A graduate of same, I think so-I fear so.) Anyhow the resulting book is both case-study, and possibly "literature," as in dynamic truthtelling, even perhaps the genre of tragedy.
Brown seems driven by an unresolved neediness garnished with a Jekyll-and-Hyde syndrome. Saccharine lovingness toward the boys, and then the sour sauce of hatred from their inevitable joltings and jiltings of the professor. Who at the end sees himself as "an old fool irrelevant to their young lives."
Specifically, Brown's style of relating to these young panthers is not heroic at all but tragicomic. A combination of attempted bear hug... ritual mating fire-dance... co-dependent orbiting... pugilistic hatred when rebuffed... and operatic laments by the "maiden" ever spurned...
Better he wrote it than not. At the end he stops with boys because his five-year foray was inconclusive. He had hoped that ambiguities would be resolved, meaning clarified. "That never happened." He stopped learning anything new. He found no satisfying closure toward enlightenment. "The obscurity all remained and new ones were added but I saw that that was the way it would always be."
Perhaps we the readers can learn more. That the unanalyzed, or unexamined, life is unworthy to live. That to "know thyself" truly-one's motivations, goals, identity-is as vital as the Greeks said it was twenty centuries ago. Brown says this on the next to the last page: "It is a lonely universe, one of many it seems, and in passing through it one needs close company, a Primary Other." Well, first, if one possesses one's own true Self, one is less lonely. And second, neither his problematic, troubled 40-year "marriage" nor his hopeless liaisons with the boys, show him as consonant with his true Self. And so I can feel that there in Brown's fantastic footsteps, but for the grace of Psyche, go we. Myself, anyhow...

Stanko Stinks.......1999-11-30
The author paints all males with the same brush: they are all violent rapists. Stanko makes no disclaimer that the men focused on in her book are NOT the majority of men in society. Stanko further suggests that all men want to inflict violence toward women, and that all women should fear all men because of man's uncontrollable, animal-like inhibitions. This book does not help the tension between some males and some females, it exacerbates it. Stanko uses trivial examples of rapes and violent crimes against women to indicate her own loathe of men. This book is great for blame-all-men-because-I'm-ugly feminists.
