He soon discovers his elusive boss Bukowski is being covertly blackmailed by an estranged wife and that he himself is to assist the straight - laced Doty on an article about the 'explosion of overt homosexuality in the city. On an undercover assignment a secret world is revealed to Raymond: a world in which he need no longer pretend to be something or someone he cannot be; a world in which he meets Joey. Like so many men of his time and of his kind Raymond faces a choice between conformity courage and compartmentalisation. The decision he makes will ricochet destructively through lives and decades until - in another time another city; in Paris 2003 - Raymond's son Joe finally meets Joey. And the healing begins. I Am not Raymond Wallace is a heartrending and mending story spanning generations and continents told with precision - tooled prose sharply - imagined settings and compassionately - observed characterisation. Taking as his starting - point a real - life moment of queer history from 1960s New York Sam Kenyon spins a marvellously stylish and often unexpected story. NEIL Bartlett A joyous literary triumph that moved me to tears. JACK Fritscher A triumph. A primer for all ages.
