In 1998, gay English author Rupert Smith took his turn at the bat when he wrote I Must Confess: Celebrity Tells All. Though that first British edition is sadly out of print, I Must Confess has now been reissued by America's own Cleis Press (256 pages).
Like Dennis's Belle Poitrine, Smith's Marc LeJeune (born Mark Young) is a one-man microcosm of pop culture, having experienced the full gamut of English celebrity life from "swinging London" in the sixties to New York "erotic cinema" in the seventies and British TV stardom in the 1980's and 1990's. Though Smith gave his fictional Marc LeJeune a more graphic sex life (gay or otherwise) than Dennis dared to give Little Me's Belle Poitrine, I Must Confess lacks the charming series of staged photos that Dennis used to illustrate Belle's life story.
On the other hand, I Must Confess benefits from Smith's intimate knowledge of English pop culture and the role that gay people (in or out of the closet) play in it. All in all, I Must Confess: Celebrity Tells All is a wonderful read, one that is funny, sexy and - yes - campy." -- Jesse Monteagudo--AfterElton.com April 2008
"This mockumentary tale of the rise and fall and rise of a fabulous English celeb delivers great lines and quite a few giggles..." -- Jonathan Riggs--Instinct Magazine March 2008
