About this title

Review:

"A volume that, unlike similar collections, includes a broad range of genres." -- "Kirkus Reviews"

"Superbly conceived and edited, this anthology functions as a source companion to Gregory Wood's brilliant "History of Gay Literature,.". [Fone's] selections are thoughtfully interesting, and many are outside the gay canon. As such, even experienced readers of gay literature will discover hidden treasures here." -- "Library Journal"
