![]() ![]() Van gets engaged and married rather fast after the experience with Alec, but is written later in the novel as REALLY SUPER GAY. Significantly, perhaps, WDiC gives Alec his first sexual experience with a man from his home village (Van) who does exactly that. Girls ( of course) like DiC’s Alec, and because DiC’s Alec is able to feel some low-key arousal with girls when they ‘touch him the right way’, until he meets Maurice he assumes/hopes he could marry a woman and go under the radar as ‘straight’. His novel therefore has to account for Alec’s flirtation with the maids – DiC explains this away as a parallel to Clive’s flip into ‘straight’ marriage rather than actual bisexual attraction. WDiC makes it totally explicit that all of ‘his’ Alec’s early erotic attractions are to males. Yes, I have.ĭi Canzio’s replies in last month’s Free Library of Philadelphia online ‘in conversation’ book promo event with Wendy Moffat are all very close to what you’ll find in the novel itself, and his reply on this is no exception: his novel expressly treats Alec as really strictly gay, not bisexual. ![]()
