Abraham Lincoln Sexuality: In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey published Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. He also wrote me a note of appreciation for my “work in the field”: The City and the Pillar, a novel about a star-crossed love affair between two “normal” young male athletes with which I had shocked America … well, the New York Times, by making the point that their affair was a perfectly natural business, despite so many popular superstitions derived from our various Bronze Age religions. At about that time I met Tripp, whose posthumous The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln has at last been published by Free Press.
