Imre

Edward Prime-Stevenson's pioneering gay novella follows Oswald, a reserved and reflective Englishman, who finds himself in a picturesque Hungarian city while seeking respite from the challenges of his life. One evening at a café, he encounters Imre, a charismatic and thoughtful young Hungarian officer. Their chance meeting quickly grows into a deep and meaningful friendship. Set against the backdrop of fin-de-siècle Europe, Imre is a tender and introspective story that examines the possibilities of love between men, and offers a quiet yet profound exploration of longing and the search for authenticity in a society that demands conformity.
