But the horses didn’t want it — they swerved apart; the earth didn’t want it, sending up rocks through which riders must pass single file; the temples, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the carrion, the Guest House, that came into view as they issued from the gap and saw Mau beneath: they didn’t want it, they said in their hundred voices, “No, not yet,” and the sky said, “No, not there.”

    Clue:

    Well, a lot of the plot of the book, and the theme, and its title – is in this one sentence. This author refused to let his first novel be released until after his death – because it was about his homosexuality.

    A Passage to India-E. M. Forster He also wrote Room with a View, which was made into a movie about 5 years ago.

    And Howard’s End … which is my personal favorite of this prolific author.

    Forster wouldn’t let “Maurice” be published until after his death because it described a first love affair for 2 gay boys.
