Michael Kirby had to hide his real self from the world for decades, while being the public voice of countless human-rights and legal issues.
This intimate biography takes us behind the bench to explore the personal, moral and spiritual convictions of one of our most beloved and brilliant citizens. It draws on a wealth of previously unavailable letters and papers, as well as interviews with Kirby, his family, friends and - for the first time - Johan van Vloten, his partner of more than 40 years. This biography looks back on a controversial career of dedication and success, and a private life of great love, secrecy and, finally, openness.
