Andrew Durbin’s book, “The Wonderful World That Almost Was: A Life of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek,” is a thoughtfully rendered dual biography of lovers and friends and a portrait of queer entanglement, says writer Alexis Clements. “Rather than a romantic depiction, it felt loving and real.”
As a dyke, I particularly cherished this portrait of queer entanglement characterized by duration and valences beyond the sexual or romantic.
