Ne gay love stori by French thor Marcel Prot are set to be published this fall for the first time. The stori take the form of "fairytal, fantasy * proust gay *

Touchg on them of homosexualy, the stori were wrten by Prot durg the 1890s, when he was his 20s and puttg together the llectn of poems and short stori that would bee Plaisirs et l jours (Pleasur and Days). He cid not to clu GuiFamo books that were only found or published posthumolyShowMrice by EM ForsterForster’s tale of same-sex love early 20th-century England, which follows a young gay man om his schooldays, through universy and beyond, was origally wrten 1913-14 and was regularly revised durg his lifetime.

But although he showed to iends, cludg Christopher Isherwood, he didn’t try to get published, believg that he uld never get away wh a gay love story wh a happy endg. “Prot is his 20s, and most of the texts evoke the awarens of his homosexualy, a darkly tragic way, that of a curse … In different ways, the young wrer transpos, sometim barely, the timate diary he uld not wre. ”Prot never publicly acknowledged his homosexualy, gog so far as to fight a duel wh a reviewer who had suggted, accurately, that he was gay.

“At the same time that Prot was eager to make love to other young men, he was equally termed to avoid the label ‘homosexual’, ” wr Edmund Whe his bgraphy of the French novelist.

“Years later he would tell André Gi that one uld wre about homosexualy even at great length, so long as one did not ascribe to onelf. This b of lerary advice is herent wh Prot’s general closetedns – a secretivens that was all the more absurd sce everyone near him knew he was gay. ”Fraisse said the domant theme of the stori was the analysis of “the physil love so unjtly nied” that Prot wr of À la recherche, “ terms that announce and forhadow Sodome et Gomorrhe”, the fourth volume of the seri which the thor tackl homosexual love.

“The awarens of homosexualy is experienced an exclively tragic way, as a curse.

Prot often ed lbian love as a way to wrg about homoerotic sire, partly bee the female kd was, if not socially acceptable, at least a standard source of athetic isson, and partly bee gave him an acceptable distance om which to wre about his own same-sex ’s strikg how out of foc the stori seem: they have a trancelike rhythm that mak events uneventful, and an absence of narrative ph.

MARCEL PROT’S LOST GAY LOVE STORI TO FALLY BE PUBLISHED

As Carter’s “Prot Love” tails, the novelist, like most wealthy gay men of his time, found lovers extensively among workg-class youths: waers at the Rz and chffrs at rorts. Not exclively so—Gilberte, the narrator’s first great love as a boy, was molled on several girls he knew—but Carter shows that Alberte, who domat the middle volum, is certaly a transmuted, if posed, versn of Prot’s beloved chffr, Aled suffered om a set of gay fact checkers, the person of other French wrers—Jean Cocte and Gi among them—who sffed regularly at the transparency of his disguis, potg out that the narrator’s blhe claim to have ma love to fourteen or so girls on the beach was absurd, given the reali of young women’s liv the perd, though was entirely plsible wh workg-class boys. Prot’s view of gayns would, by ntemporary standards, be nsired homophobic: he treats gay men, whom he lls “men-women, ” as sufferg om a formg syndrome.

Yet, whatever fensive tap dancg past the police is at work here (and Prot was arrted at least once a male brothel), the portra of male homosexualy is meant to be tritely humane. The ia of the man-woman is not a rogatn of homosexualy but an explanatn of s normalcy: people, beg people, nta oppos wh themselv.

Homosexualy is neher a licly archaic transgrsn, as was for Wil’s circle London, nor a damnable perversn. We are all double ourselv, he sisted—a formulatn that he took om Montaigne, who he knew was part Jewish and who he may have thought was homosexual. We also thk of Prot as an important gay novelist.

And we owe that, some sense, to Gi, who revealed the closeted Prot’s homosexualy their published rrponnce after Prot’s ath.
