For the Pleasure of His Company: An Affair of the Misty City (1903)
is a novel by Charles Warren Stoddard. Published toward the end of
Stoddard's career as a poet and travel writer whose friends
included Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce, For the Pleasure of His
Company: An Affair of the Misty City is a pioneering novel that
explores the ambitions of a young artist while illuminating the
struggles of gay men in a society that failed to accept them as
equals. At 25 years of age, Paul Clitheroe is "master of himself,
but slave to fortune." A struggling writer, he lives a life of
ennui and excess, looking for love and success without being sure
of the shape of either. In the Misty City, he has begun making a
name for himself among local editors and readers, finally finding
publication for his work. Despite this modest success, he remains
unsatisfied, unsure of himself, and increasingly restless. Are his
mixed feelings merely a symptom of his poetic outlook, or something
else altogether? When the debonair Foxlair invites Paul to join him
on a voyage to the South Seas, a land of promise where gay men can
live without fear of reprisal, he wonders if there is a place for
him after all. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Charles Warren Stoddard's For
the Pleasure of His Company: An Affair of the Misty City is a
classic work of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
