If you like well written, compelling, illuminating fiction and you enjoy sexy stories about gay men — and if you’re mature enough to appreciate it — then I recommend The Swimming-Pool. I was surprised to be greeted by two smiling men who didn’t offer me a Coke, but real alcohol. One of the men was the Headmaster of Horace Mann, my high school. His name was R. Inslee Clark. The other one was his lover, a history teacher and swim coach named Stanley Kops.

I didn’t know this at the time. The year was and I was 14 years old. St. Louis’ ‘hairdresser to the stars’ Watch a clip from the home movies of gay men at a pool party.
