Thank you for this. It's always good to see "new" Graham stuff but it's sad to see him so obviously drunk (or in his words, "in a very relaxed frame of mind indeed"), although his intelligence and charm still comes through and he does come across as quite endearing really. Also from what Graham said later about this period in his life I don't think it was a very happy time for him.

This is obviously before GC gave up the booze in the late 70s. At this point, he was drinking three bottles of gin a day, or more. So the possibility that he wasn't much more than completely wasted in this interview is low. I very much doubt he even remembered it. Melly is very nice though. But that's probably unsurprising because he is the man who admitted that during his time at Stowe School, when he was a new and small the senior boys (and I think I'm quoting), "buggered me senseless...taught me a thing or two about life." Ideal interviewer for this GC incarnation.

About 30 years ago I would joke sometimes that I was a lesbian trapped in a man’s body (and I had never seen this), until I told the joke to a lesbian friend. In a quite serious way, she responded “There are medical procedures that can help you with that.” And then I thought better about joking about it, as I realized maybe there are people like that, who are born male (or "assigned male at birth"), **do** identify as women, and like women.
