Oscar Moore (novelist)
Oscar Moore (23 March 1960 – 12 September 1996)〔Picardie, Justine. () "Obituary: Oscar Moore", ''The Independent'', London, 18 September 1996. 〕 was a British journalist and the author of one novel, ''A Matter of Life and Sex'', published in 1991 originally under the pseudonym Alec F. Moran (an anagram for ''roman à clef'').〔Moran, Alec F (1991). ''A Matter of Life and Sex'', Paper Drum, London. ISBN 1-873736-00-2.〕〔Moore, Oscar (1992). ''A Matter of Life and Sex'', Dutton, New York. ISBN 0-525-93484-7.〕 He grew up in London and was educated at the independent The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, going on to read English at Pembroke College, Cambridge, graduating in 1982. He worked as a journalist and critic, under his own name and various pseudonyms, to such magazines as ''Time Out'', ''I-D'', ''The Times'', ''Punch'', ''The Evening Standard'', and ''The Fred Magazine'' (in which his novel was first serialised). He was editor of ''The Business of Film'' magazine during the mid-1980s, and served as editor of the journal ''Screen International'' from 1991 until his death.
''A Matter of Life and Sex'' is an autobiographical novel recounting the coming of age of a gay man, Hugo Harvey, who engages in sex from a young age and later, during college, works at least part-time as a prostitute, contracting HIV/AIDS in the mid-1980s before the advent of effective anti-HIV drugs. The novel describes the protagonist's relationships with his family (most significantly with his mother), his school friends, his casual sex mates, and with other friends battling HIV/AIDS. Moore himself has been described as "handsome, bright, witty, and gay,"〔Picardie, Justine. () "Obituary: Oscar Moore", ''The Independent'', London, 18 September 1996. 〕 and worked occasionally as a male escort in addition to his magazine work. He lived with HIV for the last 13 years of his life, and from 1994 to 1996 wrote a regular column for ''The Guardian'' entitled "PWA (Person With AIDS)." Moore lost his sight owing to his HIV infection and died of AIDS-related illness in 1996 at the age of 36.〔Picardie, Justine. () "Obituary: Oscar Moore", ''The Independent'', London, 18 September 1996. 〕 A book collecting his "PWA" columns was published a month after his death.〔Moore, Oscar (1996). ''PWA: Looking AIDS in the Face'', Picador, London. ISBN 0-330-35193-1〕 A stage adaptation was produced in London in 2001.〔Gardner, Lyn (2001). () "Theatre Review: PWA: The Diaries of Oscar Moore", ''The Guardian'', London, 19 October 2001. 〕
