Sinopse

Edward Prime-Stevenson's "Left to Themselves: Being the Ordeal of Philip and Gerald" delves into the intricate complexities of love, identity, and societal constraints through the lens of two young men navigating their emotional and sexual awakening in an early 20th-century context. Crafted in a narrative style that blends detailed character exploration with vivid emotional landscapes, the book reflects the burgeoning discourse on homosexuality during a time of significant repression. Prime-Stevenson's nuanced prose captures both the beauty of intimate connections and the harsh realities imposed by societal norms, making it a crucial literary work in the queer canon. Edward Prime-Stevenson, an early advocate for LGBTQ rights and a pioneering voice in queer literature, drew from his own experiences and observations of love and desire that defied social conventions. His extensive travel and engagement with various intellectual circles influenced his understanding of identity and belonging, which permeates this work. As both a writer and activist, Prime-Stevenson championed a greater acceptance of homosexual relationships, and this novel serves as both a personal reflection and a broader societal critique. "Left to Themselves" is not merely a narrative about forbidden love; it is a profound exploration of the human condition, making it a vital read for anyone interested in the evolution of queer literature and the struggles faced by those in love. Prime-Stevenson's work invites readers to reconsider the complexities of love that transcends societal limitations, shedding light on the enduring legacy of those who dared to love freely.

Overwhelmed with work and feeling like I'm being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, I'm used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Though I've created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break. 
 
 
 
Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didn't anticipate running into my high school crush—the jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to. 
 
 
 
Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head. 
 
 
 
But one day, something interesting arises between us—a moment I couldn't have prepared myself for. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from completely different worlds ever make it work?
