Description
By award-winning translator Frank Wynne, a selection of LGBTQ writing from antiquity to the present. Queer people have used writing as a form of self-expression from the beginning of literature to communicate their experiences, including their great triumphs and crushing defeats, glorify their lover's qualities, extol their loneliness, and declare their lust, as well as their oddities and banalities. They have been marginalised, persecuted, and subjected to censorship for almost as long. not anymore. Readers will hear Paul Verlaine praising his lover's arsehole and Homer's Achilles beating his chest in sorrow over the death of his Patroclus as they turn these pages. They will witness Juno Dawson emerge once more but in a different way, as well as Alison Bechdel tiptoeing and leaping out of the closet. It will bite and lick and groan in sweet surprise with Roz Kaveney, and fall in and out of love alongside Qiu Miaojin in Paris and Taiwan. They will recognise queer saints and icons ? Audre Lorde, Larry Kramer, Virginia Woolf ? and meet young queer, trans and non-binary writers ? Keith Jarrett, Zhang Yueran and Niviaq Korneliussen, among others. Frank Wynne allows their voices to ring out, unashamed and unabashed, in eighty pieces that straddle the spectrum of queer existence: short stories, poems, essays, extracts and scenes from countries the world over, from ancient times to yesterday.
