In this novel, Mr Page takes the reader from the brittle glamour of the 20s to the violent repression of the 50s; from Mayfair dining rooms to the steam room of a Turkish bath; from the ordinary world of Mr Page to the strange and unsettling world of Mr Clive.

About the Author
Born in 1958, Neil Bartlett has spent twenty-five years at the cutting edge of British gay culture. His ground-breaking study of Oscar Wilde, Who Was That Man? paved the way for a queer re-imagining of history; his first novel, Ready To Catch Him Should He Fall, was voted Capital Gay Book of The Year; his second, Mr Clive and Mr Page, was nominated for the Whitbread Prize. Both have since been translated into five European languages. Listing him as one of the country's fifty most significant gay cultural figures, the Independent said "Brilliant,beautiful, mischievous; few men can match Bartlett for the breadth of his exploration of gay sensibility". He also works as a director, and in 2000 was awarded an OBE for services to the theatre.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Ripoff,
By Desmond Waite "Dez" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mr Clive and Mr Page (Five Star) (Paperback)
BEWARE!!! This novel appears word for word under another title: The House on Brooke Street. I bought both, not knowing I was being ripped off. There is no indication in either book that they are identical.
