When Men Meet: Homosexuality and Modernity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780745615592)

This work proposes a novel interpretation of the nature of masculinity and its connections with homosexuality. Besides a critical discussion of existing theories in the area, the author also analyzes a rich variety of other materials, including novels, films and other literature. It represents both an analysis of the places in which encounters occur - the railway station, the park, the disco, the consulting room, the stadium - and is also a metaphor for key aspects of modernity.
