In the wonderful world of Paul Brownsey, God is a camp old queen aiming to split a gay couple. Judy Garland did not pass away in 1969 and instead ended up wowing her fellow residents in a Scottish care and attention home on karaoke night time. A admirer of musical theater steals an Irving Berlin lyric as a Valentine's poem and spends years contriving to cover up the robbery from his enthusiast. After having a one-night stand, two men maintain a faraway awareness of each other's lives for 25 % of a century and then face the question: are we in love? One or two find that in the 12 days of Xmas they experience everything that could possibly happen in a romance, at least as saved in popular melodies from "Some Enchanted Night" to "For the nice Times". A gay couple discover Queen Elizabeth II damaged on the hillside near her Balmoral castle and are torn between star-struck fawning and lecturing her on gay rights. Often playful, Scottish author Paul Brownsey's tales in His Steadfast Love and Other Testimonies cast an imaginative eyes on gay life - but, make no miscalculation, they deal with the life span most gay men will acknowledge, in which appointment buffs and sustaining connections go alongside the uneasy landscape of acceptance, both inner and external. And as a former philosophy teacher at Glasgow University or college, Brownsey is aware how our everyday lives embody the big questions, but he shows this with a light touch and dark humor.
