A Boy's Own Story
Edmund WhiteBrian WatsonI got my signed copy of the new novel by Edmund White. Some of the first books I read as a baby gay (including The Joy of Gay Sex and A Boy’s Own Story) were by Edmund, and I’m happy he is still illuminating my queerdom with his words. Which authors helped you find your way? https://t.co/zdnoh6emKo

Epigrams: Phrases And Philosophies For The Use Of The Young
Oscar WildeBrian WatsonI accepted it as gospel that Wilde was fabulously gay (as I was), yet his marriage to Constance Lloyd suggests he was biromantic as well, if not bisexual. Regardless, today, on your birthday, Oscar, I salute you. May my epigrams be half as witty. #RainbowHistoryMonth https://t.co/43HgkBFvlo

The Humble Lover
Edmund WhiteBrian Watson“She tapped her ash into his combover.” May I someday write a sentence as wickedly beautiful as Edmund White so seemingly effortlessly does. Reading The Humble Lover today and it scintillates with my kind of wit and self-deprecation.
