Timothy Wright’s Reviews > Hemlock and After > Status Update

A fine novel with interesting characters and a reminder of how difficult life was for gay men before the 1967 act. The word 'gay' appears early on in a homosexual sense which was rare for 1952. I thought that
the reader might have been told more about Bernard's literary output also the brief relationship between Elizabeth and Terence lacked plausibility, for me. But these are minor quibbles.
