Description
With his first two novels, Neal Drinnan quickly established a reputation as an exciting and compelling writer with a gift for bringing to vivid life some offiction's most unusual characters. *Quill* is the story of gay literary bad-boy Elliot Barnard, an acclaimed writer whose greatest fiction is his own life and whose strongest impact is upon those who love him. Divided into two parts, the story is told in Part One from the perspective of Barnard's ex-lover who finds himself, his current relationship, and his past with Barnard laid bare to the world in the author's latest novel. Part Two is from the perspective of Barnard's mother -- a figure much analyzed in his fiction -- who, at his funeral, must finally confront the son she always loved and never understood. Brilliant, insightful and compelling, *Quill* is gay fiction at its finest.
