A wide-ranging collection of brief biographies of closeted gay men in modern and early modern history, Hidden: The Intimate Lives of Gay Men Past and Present includes colorful snapshots of such well-known men as Horatio Alger, Thomas Eakins, King Edward II, Alfred C. Kinsey, and Marlon Brando, Billy Bean. Readers will find joy and sorrow and pleasure and pain in these 400 biographies of men who were forced to live hidden lives. I will post one letter of the alphabet each week. For example week one is the letter A and includes everyone in the book whose name begins with A.
