Are there any books with a loving gay couple in it that will make me feel less cold in the world as a closeted homosexual? I've already read Brideshead Revisited.
I'm just looking for some characters that feel things similar to me that I can relate to.

I promise I'm not, although I don't really know how I could prove that to you. I was in a bookshop today looking for books that meet my description, and I was going to get Death in Venice but seeing as (a) I wasn't mad on the prose style and (b) it isn't an actual relationship

Sorry anon, I used to work in a bookstore and we had a section just for this but I can't remember any titles.

I also think the contemporary graphic novel scene is making for of this if you are into that.

Maybe Mishima's Confessions of a Mask? There seems to be a part with the main character as a teen in relationship, but it seems to have a sad ending.

Most decent literature doesn't focus around loving/functional relationships, gay or straight. Considering homosexuals are ~3% of the population, the odds are even lower.
That said, the movie Weekend might by down your alley. Also a beautifully shot film.

Check out Another Country also by Baldwin. Set in Greenwich Village in the late 1950's everybody sleeps with everybody, straight and gay gets very blurry
the women characters never really come alive but the actor and his French boyfriend have some nice scenes together

Thank you. Based on the synopses of these books I think I'll check out Giovanni's Room (although it does sound quite upsetting) or perhaps A Little Life.

>>8901452
I would try. I'd really like to write but I can never come up with a fully fleshed-out plot –does anyone have advice for this?
