Margery Kempe by Glc
Aspiring saint, Margery Kempe, attempts to secure her position and establish her (ultimately unsuccessful) bid for canonisation by writing her life story. The tale of her passionate physical love for Jesus intertwines with that of the narrator?s adoration of his young lover L, until the two plots merge.
?I, for one find plenty to admire in contemporary gay authorsOne of my favourites is Robert Gl?ck? Edmund White ?Gl?ck reminds one of Genet, and the transmutation of sex into something beyond sex. Not since Genet have we seen such pure love of the body and soul-seen as one palpable flesh? William S. Burroughs
