About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1995. 325 pages, illustrations; 22 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Stated First Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "This is a book about love and the influence of money. It is also a dialogue between artist and patron, student and teacher, and a story of growing up gay in a time and place where circumstances were sufficiently difficult to encourage dishonesty and dishonor. Kate Millett lied to her mentor, and confidante (and in a sense her first love), Aunt Dorothy - A.D. - in order to study at Oxford with her own first woman lover. A.D. is about education and art and patronage - and about being gay in 1950s America - an impossible time of silence and shame, of largesses encumbered by 'strings,' coerced promises ending in deceit." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
