Summary:[...] Klesse devotes a chapter to outlining his position as a white bisexual researcher, and how this influenced his research practice, yet this chapter does not appear until almost a third of the way into the book, thus meaning that his whiteness and positionality more generally are not remarked upon prior to this point. [...] only in places can we understand the power dynamics that might shape the lives of these participants: we are not often privy to their classed or racialised subject positions (unless they are marked as working class or non-white), nor are we always able to discern the gender(s) of their partners, and the implications of this for their experiences.
