Thanks. Only discovering him. But there's so much in life to discover
Just finished reading The Ides of March. I was so struck by Caesar's Journal LXIX regarding liberty. "There is no liberty save in responsibility." Prophetic of our current political situation. I wanted to read the whole entry out loud to anyone with ears. But as Caesar says, those who rail about their liberty being restricted are the first to wish to silence those who disagree with them, to restrict citizenship to a chosen few.
Why no discussion of the fact that Wilder was a gay man. His sexuality is an ever present factor in all his work. Writers Samuel Steward and Glenway Wescott are just two of the gay men who knew Wilder and tried to get him to open the door to the closet he lived in.
That is striking. Sexuality is always hidden in Wilder. Did Steward and Wescott write about him? I'd be interested in hearing
