To be honest, the specific references to writers and scientists made some portions of this read quite dry, having neither the time nor wish to fully research exactly what was being talked about. But generally, this is filled with wise and often poignant moments in defense of homosexuality as it was considered in the early 20th century. Perhaps my first exposure to Gide ought not to have been in Socratic dialogue though, which I regularly find to be unnecessary.
