Download Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade AudioBook Free
Drawn from the trick, never-before-seen diaries, journals, and sexual details of the novelist, poet, and college or university teacher Samuel M. Steward, Top secret Historian is a sensational reconstruction of 1 of the greater extraordinary covered lives of the 20th century. An intimate friend of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Thornton Wilder, Steward managed a secret gender life from child years on and recorded these activities in brilliantly vivid and frequently very funny information. After giving the world of academe to be Phil Sparrow, a tattoo musician on Chicago's notorious South Point out Street, Steward worked directly with Alfred Kinsey on his landmark gender research. Through the early 1960s, Steward evolved his name and personality once again, this time around to write very literate, upbeat, pro-homosexual pornography under the name of Phil Andros. Until today he has been known only as Phil Sparrow, but an extraordinary archive of his paperwork, lost since his fatality in 1993, has provided the materials for an exceedingly compassionate and brilliantly illuminating life-and-times biography. More than merely the story of one impressive man, Top secret Historian is a moving family portrait of homosexual life long before Stonewall and gay liberation. Justin Springtime is a copy writer focusing on 20th-century American art work and culture and is the author of several monographs, catalogs, museum publications, and books, including Fairfield Porter: A Life in Art and Paul Cadmus: The Men Nude.
