Ian Fleishman exposes a tradition of flamingly \u003ci\u003efailed passing\u003c\/i\u003e that is itself a surreptitious mode of passing: the flaunting of queer style as an intentionally unconvincing cover for queer content. Exploring a corpus of films and novels by Andr?

Mapping queer strategies of storytelling onto queer practices of self-invention, \u003ci\u003eFlamboyant Fictions \u003c\/i\u003ewagers that it is precisely in instances of conflict between these auteurs and their inventions that narrative becomes a laboratory for testing the sovereignty and self-determination of queer identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Fleishman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081014803X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810148031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Ian Fleishman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526688919807,"sku":"9780810148031","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78b005bf-11d3-4df4-9644-b89216f07655.jpg?v=1737749560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flamboyant-fictions-ian-fleishman-9780810148031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
