This is exactly the kind of book I love. Not only did I learn a lot about Bloomsbury, but it was through an oblique and new approach that sheds interesting light on the group as individuals and as a dynamic. Furthermore, it worked as a kind of memoir of Porter's own experience of queerness and his self expression through fashion and eventually through making his own clothes. A multi faceted approach to a time I am interested in and the drawing of parallels between then and now, what has changed and what hasn't, made this such a richly interesting book.
