Joseph Hawkins:
Available for the first time in paperback, A QUEER READER is a rich collection of quotes and short excerpts about gay experience through the centuries, from Plato to Andy Warhol. Arranged chronologically and drawing on sources from Michelangelo's sonnets to a speech in the House of Lords, from graphic graffiti found in Pompeii to a Playboy interview with David Bowie, A QUEER READER presents gay history as never before.
“A most quotable history of homosexuality…Higgins has plucked the pithy and profound from the likes of Wilde, Warhol, Aristophines and Isherwood.” —New York
“A wonderful example of the kind of old-fahioned anthology they used to call ‘a treasury'...Certainly its a perfect gift for any gay man- but give it to yourself first.” —Genre
