Universally cited as the text that ignited gay studies. Rolling Stone In many ways, the book that turned queer theory from a latent to a manifest discipline. Voice Literary Supplement Astoshingly powerful... Its insights are breathtaking and its careful attention to history, theory, and politics is exemplary. Gay Community News Stunning and original readings. Raritan
