Finistère (From “fini,” meaning “end,” and “terre,” meaning “land”) is the most eastern point of France, a peninsula in Brittany that sticks way out into the Atlantic. This story, which takes place there, is one of the first contemporary gay novels (1951), published not long after Gore Vidal's The City and the Pillar (1948), but it’s more daring and more worthwhile.
