AN UNUSUAL LOVE STORY uses journal entries, postscripts, and poems that together document my chance meeting of a man back in 1952 who made it possible for me to discover my true identity and my true feelings; to transform myself into a thinking individual; to dedicate my life to the teaching of literature and critical thinking; and, of the greatest importance, to spend 44 grand and glorious years in a rewarding and deeply loving relationship with a truly extraordinary human being. Because of the time and place in which all of this took place, the two of us were forced into spending countless hours in so disguising our relationship that no one, in what was still a very homophobic culture, could discover and harm us.
