Young Air Force veteran Edward Field, fresh from combat in WWII, threw himself into New York's literary bohemia, searching for fulfillment as a gay man and poet. This memoir opens the closet door to reveal some of the most important writers of his time. It brings back a forgotten era, postwar Bohemia, bawdy, comical, romantic, sad, and heroic.

After the Fall refers to the twin towers, and is Field's ode to the events that transpired thereafter-the war in Iraq andthe attack on civil rights in America-as well as his own personal struggles over the indignities of aging.
