Summary

Henry Harland's book, 'Two Women or One? From the Mss. of Dr. Leonard Benary,' is a captivating tale of love, betrayal, and societal expectations set in the literary context of late 19th-century England. Written in a style reminiscent of classic Victorian literature, the book skillfully weaves a complex narrative that explores the intricacies of human relationships and the tension between duty and desire. Harland's attention to detail and rich character development make this novel a standout in the genre. The story is filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers engaged until the very end. Henry Harland, a prominent author and editor of the late 19th century, drew inspiration from his own experiences in high society and his observations of human nature to create this thought-provoking work. His background in critical literary circles and his deep understanding of the human psyche undoubtedly influenced the depth and complexity of the characters in the book. Harland's ability to craft compelling narratives with moral ambiguity sets him apart as a skilled storyteller. I highly recommend 'Two Women or One? From the Mss. of Dr. Leonard Benary' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking historical fiction with a focus on relationships and societal norms. Harland's masterful storytelling and engaging plot make this book a must-read for fans of classic Victorian literature.

    A daring foray into the groundbreaking genre of autobiographical fiction
     
    Sad Old Faggot is the absorbing, sometimes embarrassing, always entertaining story of a lonely, self-obsessed, selfish, deluded, impotent 62-year-old gay man named Sky Gilbert who — despite his best intentions — cannot help but become a stereotype.
     
    Sky’s main claim to fame is founding Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in 1979. But since leaving Buddies, he’s fallen on hard times. Sky Gilbert is no longer even remotely famous. He has to fight off his own bitterness as audiences for his plays steadily dwindle. Theatre people dismiss his work as old news and point to the fact that he teaches at the University of Guelph as proof: his descent into academia clearly signals his failure as an artist.
     
    All along the way, the book questions our truths and celebrates their mutability. What is really true about each of us? What do we actually know about ourselves? And how much, it asks, of our own personal truth is based on fact — and how much is rooted in fiction?
