Summary

An intellectual hospitalized after a beating by a man he picked up in a bar, reflects--with a critical eye--on his homosexuality while fighting off desire for the straight man in the next bed. Quentin Crisp, the author, has written that the novel "describes exactly the cold hostility in which homosexual encounters take place. I fear that most readers will deem it politically incorrect."
