An interesting take on a plot that's seen its share of use by other writers. This book offers a bleak and frightening look at the history of homosexuality as it was once treated in mental hospitals from an unexpected source. The.characters are realistically portrayed and the situations are sometimes almost too much to bear. With that said, it's a frank and unyielding portrait of a piece of one man's life as it is discovered in a journal found hidden in a deserted mental hospital. Good writing makes this more about history than a love story. A real gem!
