- I am not Raymond Wallace
Manhattan, 1963: weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy, fresh-faced Raymond Wallace lands in the New York Times newsroom on a three-month bursary from Cambridge University. He soon discovers his elusive boss, Bukowski, is being covertly blackmailed by an estranged wife, and that he himself is to assist the straight-laced Doty on an article about the ‘explosion of overt homosexuality’ in the city. On an undercover assignment, a secret world is revealed to Raymond: a world in which he need no longer pretend to be something or someone he cannot be; a world in which he meets Joey.
Like so many men of his time and of his kind, Raymond faces a choice between conformity, courage and compartmentalisation. The decision he makes will ricochet destructively through lives and decades until-in another time, another city; in Paris, 2003-Raymond’s son Joe finally meets Joey.
I Am not Raymond Wallace is a heartrending-and-mending queer saga spanning continents and generations, told with precision-tooled prose, sharply-imagined settings and compassionately-observed characterisation.
I am not c s lewis and I didn’t design the Kennedy Oz shooting with magical trajectories.
