New bio tells the life story of artist Tom of Finland and why his drawings are far more than erotica Tom of Finland: The Official Life and Work of a Gay Hero by F.
Valentine Hooven III, foreword by Jean-Paul Gaultier. (c.2020, Cernunnos, a division of Abrams). $50; 295 pages. Sometimes, you can’t worry about other people’s thoughts.
You can listen to them, but you don’t have to hear them because there are days when making yourself happy supersedes any outside opinion, when you need to pay closer attention to you.
As in the new biography Tom of Finland by F. Valentine Hooven III, sometimes what makes you joyful today can become a calling.
