Bloemlezing homoseksuele literatuur door mannelijke en vrouwelijke auteurs van de Amerikaanse Westkust.
Colm Toibin, David Leavitt, Michael Lowenthal, Jaime Manrique, William J Mann, Christian McLaughlin, Frank Ronan and Bernard Cooper are just a few of the writers included in this collection of the best fiction by male authors at the close of the millennium. Novel excerpts bump up against short stories; science fiction jostles beside literary fiction, punk sensibility elbows its way next to high camp. If it's queer, it's here and this international collection of fiction well illustrates the power and diversity of gay writing today.
One afternoon, during a routine meditation, a strange tingling grips Catherine Klatzker, followed by an explosion of voices crowding out her thoughts. Soon these voices, or "parts," begin to emerge more distinctly in her mind, accompanied by persistent insomnia and bouts of mortifying incontinence.Fearing for her sanity, Klatzker turns to a meditation teacher and psychotherapist. What follows is one woman's unflinching excavation of years of repressed sexual and emotional abuse, manifested many decades later as Traumatic Dissociative Identity Disorder. A daring and unafraid debut memoir, You Will Never Be Normal delivers an arresting examination of the emotional toil-and toll-required to be made whole again.

In the communities of Los Angeles, artists, cultural institutions and activities exist in ways that are often concealed from sight, obscured by the powerful presence of Hollywood and its machinations.

Explored here are the communities that offer alternatives to the picture of L..A. as a conglomeration of studios and mass media. Each essay examines a particular piece of, or place in, Lo...

These poems are tingling, raw and clouded with sadness.Kate Gale has a doctorate in English literature from Claremont and is managing editor of Red Hen Press.

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. "There are infinite varieties/of saying no to geography." The Prodigal Son is the Other in the gray landscape of suburbia, the dystopian glamour of Los Angeles, the parched glitter of Palm Springs, the shadows of Paris, the traffic and noise of Accra--landscapes of dispossession and estrangement where the borders of memory and longing are permeable.
While feminist art history and queer theory both have a strong presence in academic discourse, there is no clear existing queer feminist art history. This book examines how and why this is the case. Otherwise: Imagining queer feminist art histories addresses the historiographic and politicalquestions arising from the relationship between art history and queer theory in order to help map exclusions and to offer models of a new queer feminist art historical or curatorial approach in a European-North American context and beyond. Including essays by both emerging scholars and renownedfeminist art historians, critics and queer theorists, as well as an extensive historical chapter contextualising ...
