Fabulous collection of queer writings ranging from the expected to the completely unexpected. Realism blended with surrealism and everything in between.

had to skim the last 1/4 coz the book is due but overall a solid collection (albeit 90% is from modern time) that introduced me to quite a few new names

ladydewinter's review against another edition
An anthology of texts by queer authors from different times and different cultures. While with an English language collection there will always be an emphasis of texts from English-speaking countries, there are actually quite a lot of translated texts especially from non-Western countries, which I appreciated. You also have all the letters of the acronym represented, and not in the usual “gay with a few Ls and fewer Ts” kind of way. I love that such an anthology exists; everything that asserts that we have always been there and exist in oh so many ways is a good thing.
