Whether it's passionate entreaties, secret scribbles, or sexy yearnings, queer love speaks across the centuries in these carefully curated notes written by the famous and the infamous.
What a fantastic interview and I'm now so looking forward to reading the book. The handwriting adventures and misspelling mentioned really piqued my interest, as that's such a rich part of the letter-writing tradition. Many thanks for this essay, Jerry!
I love this so much! The older, the better. The love that dared to write its name! I still have the letters my British pen pal sent me when we were 18. And he has mine. We met via an ad from the back of Rolling Stone magazine.
Read your wonderful article and immediately bought the book.
so great to hear! thanks for liking and commenting (you never know how things will land when you publish into the void).

yes the letter writing into the void is something that was a great experience in retrospect (and sad we've lost it in our instant communication era)
