Synopsis
Poetry. LGBT Studies. "Prediction: You will love A HISTORY OF THE UNMARRIED if you are married, or ambivalent about marriage, or hate the idea of marriage, or hope to be married someday. There is something sincere and surprising here for you, whatever your gender or orientation: if you have ever been in a long-term relationship, or ever hope to be; if you are a fan of Mad Men, old movies, Perry Mason, Frank O'Hara, Sylvia Plath, and / or Jackson Pollock; if you have ever left the place you came from; if you have ever felt 'the world / outside desperate to define [you].' I predict you'll laugh out loud at lines like these: 'Daniel Craig is hotter than Ted Hughes' and '(GLAAD's not going to like that I just said that).' Mills is unflinching in his honesty and in his refusal to accept easy answers. I predict you'll finish this book mulling on questions for our time ('what does it mean to be married / yet remain queer?') and questions for all time ('Some things / are worth dying for, I suppose, but which things?'). I predict you won't be able to put this book down." Julie Marie Wade"

A History of the Unmarried
Seller: Ergodebooks, Houston, TX, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. In A History of the Unmarried, Lambda Award winner Stephen S. Mills questions the idea of marriage--as a right, as a relationship, as a contract. Mills juxtaposes the lives of housewives--from his mother to Mad Men's Betty Draper--with the lives of gay men--from Raymond Burr, to Frank O'Hara, to the poet himself. He explores his own conflicting thoughts about marriage against the backdrop of the political fight for marriage equality over the last decade. He asks, ".what does it mean to become / a housewife voluntarily? /./ And what does it mean to be married / yet remain queer?" Seller Inventory # SONG1937420795
