Download or read book Homoplot written by Esther Saxey and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homoplot analyses the lesbian, gay and bisexual coming-out story in fiction and autobiography from the late 1960s to the present day. These stories are recognised as an invaluable record of lesbian, gay or bisexual life. However, this book illuminates their equally vital role as active tools in the arduous project of creating gay, lesbian and bisexual identities - constructing the identities they seem to describe. Homoplot shows how a popular twist of the plot, or a single common character trait, can be a powerful intervention into sexual politics. Approaching these texts with the tools of queer criticism, the book celebrates their success, but also illuminates their chief problem: how the need to create concrete sexual identities has often narrowed the range of queer experiences represented. Despite the ongoing popularity of coming-out stories, this is the first book-length study of the genre. Homoplot surveys hundreds of examples - including in-depth readings of authors such as Jeanette Winterson, Dorothy Allison, Rita Mae Brown, Oscar Moore, Paul Monette and Aaron Fricke - and provides an incisive account of the genre's defining features. The book is essential reading for anyone considering queer literature, or lesbian, gay and bisexual identity in the twentieth century and beyond. Researchers and students considering life history and autobiography will also benefit from its analysis of feminist and queer politics.

Book Synopsis Sucking Sherbet Lemons by : Michael Carson
Download or read book Sucking Sherbet Lemons written by Michael Carson and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you're fat, 14, obsessed with the Catholic Church, with Doing the Right Thing, with scones and sweets, with other boys and their private parts? Well, if you're Benson, you panic and flee, hiding from the flesh as a novice in a monastery. Alas, St Finbar's monastery is as full of temptation as the grammar school he'd left behind. The devils of desire find Benson once again and throw him back into the world from which he'd tried to escape. Returned to school, Benson is still trying to square the circle of his conflicting enthusiasms and desires. Can he be both gay and Catholic? Gay and Happy? Sucking Sherbet Lemons recounts the coming out experience of a gay man at a time when homosexual acts were illegal. Written in the late Eighties, in response to those who condemned gay men in the light of the AIDS epidemic – and instated Clause 28 to end discussion of the subject – this is a powerful and hilarious broadside aimed at the forces of intolerance, ignorance and fear. The times have changed, with legalization, and now even Civil Partnerships in Britain – but the difficulties, silence, bewilderment and embarrassment of ‘coming out' have not. Sucking Sherbet Lemons is a coming out novel for the ages. We are proud to re-release this gay classic to help, entertain – and console – a new generation, gay, straight, and all points in-between.

Book Synopsis Brothers in Arms by : Michael Carson

Book excerpt: "In the environs of Liverpool is a boys' Catholic school, and in that school is a fourteen-year-old Martin 'Wobbles' Benson-- an extraordinary adolescent fiercely unhappy with being fat and with the mysterious urges he explores during sessions of 'The Rude Club'-- fumbling encounters with two other boys that drive him to confession with dismal regularity. Benson, it seems, has two conflicting passions: the Holy Mother Church and other boys. So it's not unexpected that he chooses to enter St. Finbar's Seminary. But what happens there will be a stunning surprise to jolly good Benson. For here in a naughty and hilarious coming-of-age and coming-out story, written with a tone and intensity reminiscent of James Joyce's Dubliners, we witness a boy's own story-- of loneliness, choices, and sexual desire." -- Back cover.
