    Great writer - I particularly liked Julian, Washington DC and Burr. Although he seemed a bit of a shit personally.

    Also, a very early 'out' gay man which caused a stir at the time.

    However, he was very much the 'dominant' one in his sex life once saying to an interviewer that, "My dear, I don't want a penis anywhere near me!"

    Legend. Even Oscar Wilde would be proud of " Every time a friend succeeds I die a little ".......
