Synopsis

Fiction. LGBT Studies. Written from the broad perspectives of gay Southern writers, Rebel Yell: Stories by Contemporary Southern Gay Authors, dismantles and demystifies stereotypes, and presents fourteen individual narbatives about the experience of living as a gay man in Southern society. At times heartbreaking, and sometimes humorous, these stories of sexual awakenings and the search for acceptance and identity capture the nuances of Southern culture against backdrops as diverse as a Baptist church, a sleepy small town, and a roadside diner. This colorful collection of stories will appeal to fans of gay and/or Southern literature as well as academics and students studying gay and lesbian literature.
