during the early decades of the 20th century.

Edwin and John, provides a unique and intimate approach to queer
history by following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler

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.
