SUMMARY:The Dangerous Kingdom of Love (2021) by Neil Blackmore
DESCRIPTION:The Dangerous Kingdom of Love (2021) by Neil Blackmore\\nHost
 ed by Dale\\nSuper Organizer\\nGay Men of Letters Sydney\\nDetails\\nMeet
 ing at the usual place\\, upstairs at The Shakespeare Hotel\\, 200 Devons
 hire Street\\, Surry Hills\\, Sydney\\, we will be discussing The Dangero
 us Kingdom of Love by Neil Blackmore.\\nIn England during the 1500 and 16
 00s\\, there lived a very real King whom historians identify as same-sex 
 attracted. This imaginative re-telling depicts King James 1 as a man will
 ing to be persuaded by the amorous approaches of brilliant young things. 
 One such man was Francis Bacon\\, the brilliant philosopher who invented 
 the scientific method.\\nOperating in a Jacobean aristocracy drunk on ind
 ulgence and paranoia\\, Bacon relies on reason to maneuver through the co
 rridors of power.\\nThe arrival of George Villiers changes everything: th
 e once obscure country youth becomes the most powerful man in the realm. 
 Bacon tries to charm Villiers at first\\, but gets dragged into a treache
 rous game of vanity\\, lust\\, and lethal betrayal. This novel has been d
 escribed as savage\\, darkly funny\\, and unapologetically queer.\\nThe b
 ook is very easily available through the usual places\\, including local 
 libraries.\\nWe meet in a semi-private room upstairs in the pub - look fo
 r the sign. There will be about 10-15 of us. We are a friendly bunch\\, a
 nd newcomers are welcome. Contact dalemills@cantab.net for further info.\
