In 2008, Charles Rowan Beye married his longtime partner Richard at a chapel on the edge of Harvard University campus, where he had received his PhD in classical philology nearly fifty years earlier. The path he took to get to that point - his third wedding - had nearly as many ups and downs as the great works of classical literature he studied throughout his professional career. In My Husband and My Wives, Beye tells this deeply personal story with a winning mix of humor, intelligence, and honesty and provides an important and fascinating testimony to the evolution of social mores and gay life in this country.
