It’s an environment in which he must hide his sexuality, in which every encounter is potentially deadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2003: James is a young writer, living with his boyfriend. In search of a subject, he begins looking into the Far Right in Britain and its secret gay membership. He becomes particularly fascinated by Nicky Crane, one of the leaders of the neo-Nazi movement who came out in 1992 before dying a year later of AIDS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two narrative threads of this extraordinarily assured and ambitious first novel follow Tony through the seventies, eighties, and nineties, as the nationalist movement splinters and weakens; and James through a year in which he becomes dangerously immersed in his research. After risky flirtations with individuals on far right websites, he starts receiving threatening phone calls—the first in a series of unexpected events that ultimately cause the lives of these two very different men to unforgettably intersect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChildren of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of great imaginative sympathy and range—a novel of unblinking honesty but also of deep feeling, which illuminates the surprisingly thin line that separates aggression from tenderness.\u003cb\u003eMax Schaefer\u003c\/b\u003e was born in London in 1974 and studied at Cambridge and Harvard.
