'The Letters of Thom Gunn' is both an intimate portrait of the poet and a window on the development of what would become gay and leather culture, and the rise of the hippies and drug culture.

It’s 5,300 miles from San Francisco’s South End Rowing Club to Suffolk, England. But it was at the Rowing Club that Pete Mulvihill, co-owner of San Francisco’s Green Apple Books and intrepid open-water swimmer, first heard about Suffolk author Roger Deakin’s cult aquatic classic, “Waterlog.”
“I went online and bought a copy from a British dealer,” recalls Mulvihill, “because it had never been published here.” He read “Waterlog.” He liked it. A few weeks later he was on a phone call with Craig Popelars, publisher at Tin House books in Portland, Ore., and a fellow swimmer. Read “Waterlog,” Mulvihill advised. Popelars did. He passed the book on to others at Tin House. “And,” Popelars says, “we just fell in love with it.”
