Synopsis
The title's irony is reiterated in the first chapter, which concludes: "Homosexuality, the explanation for everything politically and ethically aberrant. Determination, in the last instance, by the deviant." Morrison (English, Brandeis U.) combines psychoanalytic, literary, and queer theory, and applies his critique to a diversity of examples, as he delves into deep currents of cultural attitudes.
