I expected A Domestic Animal to be a document of gay life in a benighted past. It isn’t, exactly. The American Psychiatric Association notoriously considered homosexuality a pathology until 1973. Dick does them one better; maybe love is a private experience by definition, maybe—gay or straight—it’s a disease without a cure.
Francis King
Foreword by Rumaan Alam
A witty, heartbreaking tale of unrequited love by “one of the finest and most remarkable of English novelists of our time.” (The Scotsman)
