Charles Henri Ford – författare

A riveting and entertainingly arch and intimate diary by one of the 20th Century's most mercurial of gay writers. It is filled in equal parts with personal poignancy and deliciously outre accounts of a circle which included Gertrude Stein, the Sitwells, and Pavel Tchelitchew. Ford 92, still writes and draws in his Manhattan abode, and this newly uncovered nine year diary will transform an important but little known gay poet in to a wirter of tremendous honesty, heartbreak, humour and grace. A surrealist at heart, he was a contemporary of Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst.
