This is the original novel on which the Oscar nominated film, Gods and Monsters (starring Ian McKellan and Brendan Fraser) was based. It is a fictional recounting of the last days of the Hollywood film director James Whale, and in particular his burgeoning relationship with his hunky straight gardener. This is a masterfully written book touching on issues of loneliness, friendship and the homophobia of the Golden (and present) Age of Hollywood. More than anything else, it is a moving novel about life and death - What gives meaning to Life? Can one grow into Life by being part of another man's Death?
