Produktbeskrivning
Sometimes I wonder why I have been forced to spend my creative life grappling with words & the logic & rationality they demand . I wish I could find a way of reaching directly into another''s heart. Words are my only tool.
Sometimes I think perhaps I have not worked hard enough. I am still alive. There is time.'' -- Robert Lord, diary entry, 31 October 1981. Robert Lord (1945-1992) is an important figure in the history of literature and theatre in Aotearoa New Zealand. He wrote incisive and often satiric radio and stage plays, experimenting with traditional theatre forms and incorporating queer characters at a time when almost nobody else did.
His enduring work includes such audience favourites as Well Hung, Bert and Maisy and Joyful and Triumphant. In 1973, he co-founded Playmarket, New Zealand''s playwrights'' agency and publisher. Lord also wrote eight lively, candid and absorbing diaries, now published for the first time in Robert Lord Diaries.
From 1974, when he first moved to New York, until his death in Dunedin in 1992, Lord recorded the highs and lows of his writing practice, the theatre world and his social life. His diary entries reveal the dramatic contrast between life as a gay man in 1970s and 80s New York -- a world of sex, drugs and socialising -- and provincial New Zealand, with its respectable living rooms, fields of carrots and the occasional homoerotic demonstration of sheep shearing.
Lord had a complex relationship with his homeland and was never quite sure where he belonged. Witty and incisive, his diary entries tell of torn loyalties and reveal the intense creative momentum Lord forged from his dislocated, outsider status.
