      The London Gay Teenage Group was a unique and ground-breaking youth group. It emerged in the heady days of the late 1970s and achieved registration as an official youth club catering mainly for gay and lesbian young people, at a time when gay male sex was still totally illegal for anyone aged under 21.

      Autobiographie. Suivi de Conrad Detrez

      Dans Autobiographie, le lecteur est entraîné par le rythme, ses sursauts et ses plages de calme apparent, se trouve pris dans un flux où la détresse, l'homosexualité, la hargne, le dégoût de vivre et les images d'un bonheur fuyant composent une fresque narrative d'une rare puissance d'évocation. Il en est de même avec le Conrad Detrez, thrène ou tombeau - à la manière de la Délie de Maurice Scève - où Cliff évoque une amitié sans nuages avec l'auteur de L'Herbe à brûler, prix Renaudot 1978, mort du sida en 1985. Là aussi, le rythme et la forme sont essentiels. Le tragique de l'existence du «héros» constitue le miroir idéal où l'auteur se découvre et se constitue. «La leçon de William Cliff puise sa force et sa cohérence dans la tradition baudelairienne, médiévale, romantique, latine (et j'en passe), vivifiée sans hiatus par des accents parfaitement maîtrisés. La présence de Cliff - du poète et de l'homme - s'affirme au-delà de toute allégeance. La vie de Cliff, c'est toujours sa poésie.» Jean-Claude Pirotte.

      Vydání druhé. V noci sa mi snívalo, že som bola opäť v Manderley. Stála som tam pred mrežami hlavnej brány, ale nemohla som dovnútra, lebo bola zamknutá na retiazku s visacou zámkou. V sne som volala vrátnika, no nik sa neozval, keď som sa lepšie prizrela pomedzi zahrdzavené tyče, videla som, že vo vrátnici nik nebýva." Týmito slovami začína rozprávanie hlavnej hrdinky, ktorá sa na Francúzskej Riviére zaľúbila do príťažlivého a zámožného Angličana Maximiliana de Winter.
