Strategies of Deviance

"Juxtaposing the narrative strategies of Freud, Wilde and Jarman;
film pornography and Almodovar; and Dennis Cooper, Robert Glück and Kevin Killian,
Jackson offers a delightfully intelligent and inventive reappraisal of key issues in gay representation." — Gay Times

"A major event in gay cultural theory.... the feat of critical imagination is absolutely stunning in its scope and power. [This book] will be definitive in laying out the issues for subsequent writers in gay theory." — David M. Halperin

Earl Jackson examines visual and narrative texts from a variety of genres, including case histories, pornography, science fiction, and experimental prose.
