Paulina Palmer analyzes novels by Christopher Bram, Philip Hensher, Alan Hollingurst, Randall Kenan, Shani Mootoo, Sarah Schulman, Ali Smith, Sarah Waters, and Jeanette Winterson, among others, highlighting the inventive ways these authors recast traditional Gothic motifs from a queer perspective. Topics discussed include secrets and their disclosure, queer spectrality, the homely\/unhomely house, the grotesque, lesbian social invisibility, transgender doubles, and the intersection between sexuality and race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paulina Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0708324584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780708324585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Paulina Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658910576895,"sku":"9780708324585","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-queer-uncanny-paulina-palmer-9780708324585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
