What makes a book gay or lesbian Or queer? Or
even indecent? Is queer writing literature by
gays and lesbians or about gays and lesbians? Is
there such a things as "gay style"? This course
looks at contemporary gay/lesbian and "other"
writing which challenges conventions of
literature. Experimental writing has a long
history of affiliation with gender and sexual
experimentation, which invites the reader to look
at this work as both a literary and cultural
commentary. This work poses questions of sexual
identity, of the body, of pain and pleasure, as
well as of narrative and language itself.
