Injured at Dunkirk, Laurie Odell, a young corporal, is recovering
at a rural veterans' hospital. There he meets Andrew, a
conscientious objector serving as an orderly, and the men find
solace in their covert friendship. Then Ralph Lanyon appears, a
mentor from Laurie's schooldays. Through him, Laurie is drawn into
a tight-knit circle of gay men for whom liaisons are fleeting and
he is forced to choose between the ideals of a perfect friendship
and the pleasures of experience. First published in 1953, The
Charioteer is a a tender, intelligent coming-of-age novel and a
bold, unapologetic portrayal of homosexuality that stands with Gore
Vidal's The City and the Pillar and James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room
as a landmark work in gay literature.
