Synopsis:
The author of this book has divided the book into 20 chapters covering themes such as definitions, denial and exposure, camp, fantasy, school, causes, personality and partners, and prefaced them with a short introduction placing each theme in a wider context. The extracts that follow are often arranged to suggest a dialogue or debate, giving the reader the opportunity to enjoy gentle irony and humour arising from widely divergent opinions on this controversial subject. As well as representing all the great names in homosexual literature, Patrick Higgins has included many extracts from newspapers, magazines and scripts, giving the anthology unusual breadth.
