In "My Queer War", James Lord tells the story of a young man's exposure to the terrors, dislocations, and horrors of armed conflict. In 1942, a timid, inexperienced twenty-one-year-old Lord reports to Atlantic City, New Jersey, to enlist in the U.S. Army. His career in the armed forces takes him to Nevada, California, Boston, England, and, eventually, France and Germany, where he witnesses firsthand the ravages of total war on Europe's land and on its people. Along the way he comes to terms with his own sexuality, experiences the thrill of first love and the chill of disillusionment with his fellow man, and in a moment of great rashness makes the acquaintance of the world's most renowned artist, who will show him the way to a new life. "My Queer War" is a rich and moving record of one man's maturation in the crucible of the greatest war the world has known. If his war is queer, it is because each man's experience is strange in its own way. His is a story of universal significance and appeal, told by a wry and eloquent observer of the world and of himself. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

El relato de la amistad entre Giacometti y Majes Lord llevado al cine por Stanley Tucci. Final Portrait - El arte de la amistadJames Lord llegó a París en 1945 y pronto entró en contacto con numerosos artistas. Alberto Giacometti pintó su retrato en 1964 y el texto que ahora se ofrece es un relato de las dieciocho sesiones de pose, que Lord escribió a partir de sus anotaciones y recuerdos."Sin duda –escribe Lord– cualquiera que conozca bien a Giacometti le habrá oído decir en alguna ocasión que, por primera vez en su vida, estaba a punto de conseguir algo de verdad. Y, sin duda, su convicción era sincera en aquel momento. Pero, para un observador externo, podría parecer que la obra que ha provocado esta relación no es radicalmente diferente de las que la precedieron. Más aún, en realidad no le parecerá una obra muy distinta de las que vendrán después, algunas de lascuales, sin duda, producirán en él la misma reacción. En suma, esta reacción parece más una expresión de toda su actitud creativa que de su relación momentánea con cualquier obra de arte en proceso. Probablemente, Giacometti lo negará, pero yo creo que es cierto."
