Tiepolo Blue: 'The best novel I have read for ages' Stephen Fry
by James CahillA BBC "BOOKS OF 2022" PICKAn exquisite debut novel. A mid-life coming-of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London, raising questions about art and beauty, sex and censure.Ben turns and grins ironically. 'When you stopped just now and looked at the sky, you weren't measuring it. You weren't thinking about classical proportion. You were feeling something.'Cambridge, 1994. Professor Don Lamb is a revered art historian at the height of his powers, consumed by the book he is writing about the skies of the Venetian master Tiepolo. However, his academic brilliance belies a deep inexperience of life and love. When an explosive piece of contemporary art is installed on the lawn of his college, it sets in motion Don's abrupt departure from Cambridge to take up a role at a south London museum. There he befriends Ben, a young artist who draws him into the anarchic 1990s British art scene and the nightlife of Soho. Over the course of one long, hot summer, Don glimpses a liberating new existence. But his epiphany is also a moment of self-reckoning, as his oldest friendship - and his own unexamined past - are revealed to him in a devastating new light. As Don's life unravels, he suffers a fall from grace that that shatters his world into pieces.(P) 2022 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Ties That Bind: Familial Homophobia and Its Consequences
by Sarah SchulmanAlthough acceptance of difference is on the rise in America, it’s the rare gay or lesbian person who has not been demeaned because of his or her sexual orientation, and this experience usually starts at home, among family members.<P> Whether they are excluded from family love and approval, expected to accept second-class status for life, ignored by mainstream arts and entertainment, or abandoned when intervention would make all the difference, gay people are routinely subjected to forms of psychological and physical abuse unknown to many straight Americans.<P> “Familial homophobia,” as prizewinning writer and professor Sarah Schulman calls it, is a phenomenon that until now has not had a name but that is very much a part of life for the LGBT community. In the same way that Susan Brownmiller’s Against Our Will transformed our understanding of rape by moving the stigma from the victim to the perpetrator, Schulman’s Ties That Bind calls on us to recognize familial homophobia. She invites us to understand it not as a personal problem but a widespread cultural crisis. She challenges us to take up our responsibilities to intervene without violating families, community, and the state. With devastating examples, Schulman clarifies how abusive treatment of homosexuals at home enables abusive treatment of homosexuals in other relationships as well as in society at large.<P> Ambitious, original, and deeply important, Schulman’s book draws on her own experiences, her research, and her activism to probe this complex issue—still very much with us at the start of the twenty-first century—and to articulate a vision for a more accepting world.

Tigerland (Tigers and Devils #2)

Now retired from the AFL, Declan works as a football commentator; Simon develops programs with queer content for a community television station. Despite their public professional lives, Simon and Declan manage to keep their private life out of the spotlight. Their major concerns revolve around supporting their friends through infertility and relationship problems--until Greg Heyward, Declan's ex-partner, outs himself in a transparent bid for attention. Though Simon and Declan are furious with Greg and his media antics, they can't agree on what to do about it. Declan insists they should maintain a dignified silence, but both he and Simon keep getting drawn into Heyward's games. Simon and Declan will once again have to ride out the media storm before they can return their attention to what really matters: each other.

Anche se Simon e Declan sono furiosi con Greg per i suoi capricci mediatici, non riescono a concordare sul da farsi. Declan insiste che dovrebbero rimanere in dignitoso silenzio, ma sia lui che Simon continuano a trovarsi coinvolti nei giochetti di Heyward. Simon e Declan dovranno ancora una volta navigare una tempesta mediatica prima di poter tornare a occuparsi di ciò che è veramente importante: loro stessi.
Tigers and Devils (Tigers and Devils #1)
by Sean Kennedy2nd EditionThe most important things in Simon Murray's life are football, friends, and film--in that order. His friends despair of him ever meeting someone, but despite his loneliness, Simon is cautious about looking for more. Then his best friends drag him to a party, where he barges into a football conversation and ends up defending the honour of star forward Declan Tyler--unaware that the athlete is present. In that first awkward meeting, neither man has any idea they will change each other's lives forever. Like his entire family, Simon revels in living in Melbourne, the home of Australian Rules football and mecca for serious fans. There, players are treated like gods--until they do something to fall out of public favour. This year, the public is taking Declan to task for suffering injuries outside his control, so Simon's support is a bright spot. But as Simon and Declan fumble toward a relationship, keeping Declan's homosexuality a secret from well-meaning friends and an increasingly suspicious media becomes difficult. Nothing can stay hidden forever. Soon Declan will have to choose between the career he loves and the man he wants, and Simon has never been known to make things easy--for himself or for others.First Edition published by Dreamspinner Press, 2009.

En ese primer e incómodo encuentro, ninguno de los dos se imagina que cambiarán la vida del otro para siempre. Como el resto de su familia, Simon disfruta vivir en Melbourne, hogar del fútbol australiano y meca de los hinchas más serios de este deporte. Allí los jugadores son considerados dioses, a menos que hagan algo para ganarse el desprecio del público. Ese año, el ganador de ese desprecio es Declan, debido a las constantes lesiones que sufre y que lo mantienen alejado del campo de juego, por lo que el apoyo que le brinda Simon es como una luz al final del túnel. Simon y Declan inician una relación amorosa, ocultando la homosexualidad de Declan de bienintencionados amigos y de la prensa, que sospecha cada vez más del jugador, por lo que las cosas entre ellos se dificultan. Nada permanece oculto para siempre. Pronto Declan tendrá que elegir entre la carrera que le apasiona y el hombre que ama, y poner las cosas fáciles nunca ha sido el fuerte de Simon, ni para sí mismo ni para los demás.

by Sean Kennedy Christine Gauzy-SvahnSuite de Tigres et DémonsAprès une cour riche en événements et parfois désagréablement publique, Simon Murray et Declan Tyler mènent une vie confortable l'un avec l'autre. Retraité de l'AFL, Declan est devenu commentateur sportif ; Simon développe des programmes aux contenus gays pour une chaîne de télévision locale.

Même si Simon et Declan sont furieux contre Greg et ses bouffonneries médiatiques, ils s'opposent sur la façon dont ils doivent réagir. Declan insiste pour qu'ils gardent un silence digne, mais le couple ne cesse d'être entraîné dans le jeu de Heyward. Les deux hommes devront une fois de plus surmonter la tempête médiatique avant de pouvoir reporter leur attention sur ce qui compte vraiment : eux-mêmes.
Tigri e Diavoli (Tigri e Diavoli #1)
by Sean Kennedy Sarah MayLe cose più importanti nella vita di Simon Murray sono il football, gli amici e i film, in quest'ordine. I suoi amici sperano che incontri qualcuno ma, nonostante si senta solo, Simon diffida dal cercare qualcosa di più. Poi, trascinato a una festa dai suoi migliori amici, s'intromette in una discussione sul football e finisce per difendere l'onore della stella Declan Tyler, senza sapere che l'atleta è lì presente. Nessuno dei due sa che quel primo, imbarazzante incontro cambierà le loro vite per sempre. Come al resto della sua famiglia, anche a Simon piace vivere a Melbourne, la città dell'Australian Rules football e mecca dei fan più sfegatati. Qui i giocatori sono trattati come degli dèi, a meno che non facciano qualcosa che deluda il pubblico. Quest'anno i tifosi ce l'hanno con Declan per una serie infelice d'infortuni, quindi il sostegno di Simon è l'unica nota positiva della sua stagione. Mentre la relazione di Simon e Declan procede a tentativi, diventa sempre più difficile tenere nascosta l'omosessualità di quest'ultimo, sia agli amici in buona fede che ai media sempre più sospettosi. Nulla può rimanere nascosto per sempre. Presto Declan dovrà scegliere tra la carriera che ama e l'uomo che vuole, e Simon non è il tipo da rendere le cose semplici, né agli altri né a se stesso.
Tigri in fuga (Tigri E Diavoli Ser.)
by Sean Kennedy Ida GianniniSeguito di Tigerland – Il ritornoIl giovane Micah Johnson è il primo giocatore di football australiano dichiaratamente gay già all’inizio della carriera. Per Declan Tyler, ex giocatore professionista, fargli da mentore è un compito difficile: il ragazzo, infatti, compie una scelta sbagliata dopo l’altra, cacciandosi continuamente nei guai. Niente, comunque, che Dec non sia in grado di affrontare, visto che lui stesso ci è passato, e lo ha superato, più spesso di quanto gli piaccia ammettere. Inoltre, essere da anni il compagno di Simon Murray lo ha abituato alle tribolazioni e agli ostacoli. Come sempre, Simon pensa che tutto stia andando per il verso giusto finché Coby, il suo assistente, non gli confessa un segreto che coinvolge la sua vecchia nemesi. I problemi di Simon e Dec si intrecciano e, per risolverli, i due devono intraprendere un lungo viaggio durante il quale affronteranno questioni, riceveranno delle scuse, e andranno a recuperare un ragazzo in fuga per riportarlo sano e salvo ai genitori preoccupati.
