He was born in Richmond, Indiana. In 1969 he published his Paris Diary, which, with his later diaries, has brought him some degree of notoriety, as he is honest about his and others' sexuality, describing his relationships with Leonard Bernstein and Noel Coward, his rejection of Samuel Barber and Virgil Thompson, and outing at least a few people (Aldrich and Wotherspoon, eds., 2001).
