Synopsis

The volume’s focus on queer life narratives strives for an enriching multiplicity instead of a unidimensional fixation. It invites readers to question traditionally set ideologies, norms, and boundaries of the self. By the same token it encourages the unlearning of hasty discrimination and attendant condemnation of what is apparently different.
