“Next Stephen was delighted finally to locate and buy a copy of the extremely rare and unexpurgated American edition of Davidson’s “Some Boys,” much sought by collectors. This brought him into online correspondence with Mark, an interesting young man who had been seeking the same book avidly but in vain. One day they had an exchange on which writers on the subject of boylove were friendly enough to exchange ideas with their readers. Mark mentioned an Edmund Marlowe who had written a novel he liked set at Eton and whom he found a friendly correspondent “even though he’s a toff.” “A Dangerous Love” by Stephen Nicholson ch 13:p269 (Arcadian Dreams 2023) I let the evidence speak for itself and will end there. I have no wish to get into a public quarrel here. I mentioned Marlowe in passing. The fact he has put a sword of Damocles over my neck says all you need to know. My life is a mess anyway so he would not be able to do that much more damage. The irony is that Marlowe now publishes that unexpurgated edition: cheers for that Edmund. |
