A Cuban dancer meets an Australian historian, and a casual fling gradually becomes an international love affair that transforms their lives. In this unforgettable memoir, John Foster recounts the life and death of his lover, Juan Cespedes. This unlikely love story takes in much of the twentieth century seen from the angle of the outsider: Juan is the refugee from oppression, the immigrant trying to make it, the early victim of a spreading plague. John is the sophisticate from a first-world culture, who fully embraces his unexpected love. This is the rarest of things--a book full of intelligence and laughter that tells of terrible events with intimacy and grace.

‘I can’t remember exactly when I said that I loved him, but it could have been there in the warehouse, on the far side of the Brooklyn Bridge.' Take Me to Paris, Johnny is John Foster’s moving yet unsentimental account of the life of his partner, Juan Céspedes. It traces Juan’s youth in Cuba and his move to New York, where he struggles to make it as a dancer. There, in 1981—in ‘a chance encounter, much like any other’—he meets John, an Australian historian. What begins as just a fling becomes a dazzling six-year affair. The two travel between New York, Berlin and Melbourne, struggling with bureaucracy in their quest to gain Juan residency in Australia, then with the disease taking the lives of gay men around the globe. To the end, Juan—‘an exotic bird, the only one of his kind’ in Melbourne—is captivating, witty, headstrong. First published in 1993, not long before John Foster’s death, Take Me to Paris, Johnny is brilliant and unflinching, at once controlled and impassioned: a love story told with humour and unerring skill. This edition includes an introduction by Peter Craven and an expanded biographical portrait of the author by John Rickard.
