from the back:
"In Love in a Dark Time, Colm Toibin looks at the life and work of some of the greatest and most influential artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His subjects range from figures such as Oscar Wilde, born in the 1850s, to Pedro Almodovar, born nearly a hundred years later. Toibin studies how a changing world impacted on the lives of people who, on the whole, kept their homosexuality hidden, and reveals that the laws of desire changed everything for them, both in their private lives and in the spirit of their work."

An interesting book but I wish there was more here. Just as I started getting interested in each person's story the chapter ended. I think Toibin would have done better to concentrate on fewer people instead of trying to cram in as many as he could. But they seem to be more or less personal choices in places so maybe he had a specific agenda.
Sorry for the vague release location! I'm having trouble with the release notes. I left this by the Supercuts on N Carrollton in Midcity.
