Closet Queens: Some 20th-Century British Politicians
Michael Bloch
Little, Brown, 320pp, £25
In Matthew Parris’s foreword to this wry, naughty book he confesses that he finds gossip interesting and declares that it “can be read just for fun”. He is right. There is plenty of fun here, as Michael Bloch writes very entertainingly, and with a sharp sense of humour, about a string of 20th-century politicians who were queer or nearly queer (my term, not his).
