He withdrew to a cottage on the bleak coast at Dungeness, "a hermit in the desert of illness" (as he puts it).He wrote these journals in the cottage - the filming of 'The Garden', videos for "Pet Shop Boys', being discovered in bed with another boy at prep school, his affairs with Robert Mapplethorpe and serial killer Michele Lupo. This book is at once a volume of autobiography, a lament for a lost generation, and a celebration of gay sexuality.
