Experienced narrator Daniel Henning, who has a real feel for the subject matter, delivers a stylized yet pleasing narration of this candid life history, based on conversations and interviews. Bachardy, an artist, was the life partner of the late novelist and playwright Christopher Isherwood. Unique in its approach to discussing gay life in the 1950s, this audiobook is frank about sex and sexuality. Henning captures Bachardy's reflections about Hollywood celebrities, and the biography sometimes veers into the gossipy and salacious. Bachardy painted portraits of many of those celebrities, including Bette Davis. Henning skillfully treads a nuanced path in examining an early out gay entertainment industry power couple.
