My Father and Myself by J.R. Ackerley
Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: Joe Randolph "J. R." Ackerley (4 November 1896 – 4 June 1967) was a British writer and editor. He published many emerging poets and writers who became influential in Great Britain. He was openly gay, a rarity in his time when homosexuality was forbidden by law and socially ostracized.
When his father died, J. R. Ackerley was shocked to discover that he had led a secret life. And after Ackerley himself died, he left a surprise of his own–this coolly considered, unsparingly honest account of his quest to find out the whole truth about the man who had always eluded him in life. But Ackerley’s pursuit of his father is also an exploration of the self, making "My Father and Myself" a pioneering record, at once sexually explicit and emotionally charged, of life as a gay man. This witty, sorrowful and beautiful book is a classic of twentieth-century memoir.
