In Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South,
award-winning author James T. Sears interweaves diaries, letters
and poems to craft an innovative first-person narrative history
that details the hard realities of growing up gay in the South
during the early decades of the 20th century. Set against the
backdrop of World War II and the post-war South, Edwin and John,
provides a unique and intimate approach to queer history by
following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler and Edwin
Peacocke that carried them both from their roots in the
conservative South, through service in World War II, and into a
placid and loving literary life where they opened a bookshop in
what was then the small town of Charleston, South Carolina. Edwin
and John is a revealing look at queer history, detailing how these
two men and their remarkable circle of close friends--which
included some of the greatest writers and artists of their era
including Prentiss Taylor, Carson McCullers, and John
Bennett--endured war, intolerance, and jealousies, while living
proud and public lives in far more conservative times.
