This book purports to guide the reader through the essential works of literature that should comprise a well-read, educated gay man's body of knowledge. The material is organized chronoligically. In addition, it is arranged to lead the reader through a course of reading to actually read or at least become familiar with these works in a structured manner. Each work is summarized and about 20 percent of them are covered in some depth. Whether or not one agrees with all the choices this book still provides a fine jumping off point toward some structured independent reading. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
There are countless works of interest to gay men in print right now--anthologies, novels, memoirs, and more. It is a reflection of progress that there is such an openly recognizable culture. Yet how to make sense of the choices offered? What do gay men need to read? What books have shaped the gay heart, mind, and soul? The Gay Canon gives its readers answers to these questions. Not only does it list the one hundred great gay books that have influenced writers and continue to shape the gay imagination, it also provides a deeper, more comprehensive look at the twenty-six most seminal works, each of which is followed by a series of useful group discussion questions. Reaching all the way back to Gilgamesh and continuing through classics like Leaves of Grass, Confessions of a Mask, and The Wild Boys, as well as more recent books like Borrowed Time, The Gay Canon consistently avoids impenetrable academic literary criticism in favor of a more popular introduction for general readers and book groups. The Gay Canon is a book to give to any young man just coming out, a book every gay reading group will want to rely on, and--most important--a book that will enrich and improve the gay story that continues to be written.
