Summary:
"A professor of English literature writes the autobiography of his fantasy alter-ego, wanton movie star
Gloria
Grahame
, while his own sexual desires go frustrated. Denton Moulton--a shy, effeminate male professor--lives inside his head, and inside his head he is really a long-dead movie star--the glamorous
Gloria
Grahame
, from the golden age of Hollywood. Professor Moulton is desperate to reveal
Gloria
's shocking secret before he dies. Does he have the right to tell this woman's story? Who, in fact, has the right to tell any story at all? This scandalous, satirical novel of taboo desires and repression alternates between
Gloria
's imagined life with her film-director husband (Nicholas Ray, director of Rebel Without a Cause) and Denton's increasingly frustrated real-life attempts to produce his own work of art, an all-male drag production of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis. It takes us from high-strung film sets to dark bars to the puritanical offices of government arts granting agencies, where Denton runs up against the sternest warnings that he may not, in fact, imagine himself as someone else, even in art."--Provided by publisher.
