He speaks in these pages of his departure from England, leaving behind the family and his arrival in the United States; The moment he confessed his mother to his homosexuality and her angry reaction; Of the relationship with his schizophrenic brother; Of his first sexual experience in Amsterdam when a man picked him up in the street completely drunk and he woke the next morning in that stranger's bed; Of his last sexual relation in his forties and of his later voluntary celibacy; Sex and love as the engines of life; Of his beginnings as a psychiatrist in a hospital in the sixties of last century and of his crucial investigations on a forgotten disease; Of intense relationships with their patients; Of their abuse of amphetamines; Friendship with the poets Auden and Thom Gunn, and his most fleeting relationship with characters such as Robert De Niro, Robin Williams and Harold Pinter; Of his fondness for motorcycles and his nocturnal journeys in one of them in the California desert; Of other hobbies such as weightlifting, bodybuilding and swimming; And above all of the intellectual adventure to which he has dedicated his existence and which he has divulged in his dazzling works. The result: a great autobiography, exciting and heartbreakingly honest. "A narrative animal. The greater interest of In movement lies in its capacity to move, in its depth and luminosity as an intimate confession. It is an honor to have access to the nooks and crannies of a human being whose life experience is as exceptional as it is complex. The facets of this fascinating narration are endless "(Eduardo Lago, El País).
