Description
In Love in a Dark Time, Colm Tóibín examines the life and work of some of the greatest and most influential artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Linked by the common thread of their sexualities, his subjects range from figures such as Oscar Wilde, born in the 1850s, to Pedro Almodóvar, born nearly a hundred years later.
Tóibín explores how a changing world impacted the lives of people who, for the most part, kept their homosexuality hidden, revealing that the laws of desire altered everything for them, both in their private lives and in the spirit of their work.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
