About Ed
by Robert GluckA moving story about love, AIDS, grief, and memory by one of the most adventurous writers to come out of San Francisco's LGBTQ+ scene.Bob Glück met Ed Aulerich-Sugai in 1970. Ed was an aspiring artist; Bob wanted to write. They were young men in San Francisco at the high tide of sexual liberation and soon, and for eight years, they were lovers, after which they were friends. Ed was an explorer in the realms of sex. He was beautiful, fragile, exasperating, serious, unassuaged. In 1994 he died of HIV. His dream notebooks became a touchstone for this book, which Glück has been working on for some two decades, while also making his name as a proponent of New Narrative writing and as one of America&’s most unusual, venturesome, and lyrical authors. About Ed is about Ed, who remains, as our dead do, both familiar and unknowable, faraway and close. It is about Bob too. The book is a hybrid, at once fiction and fact, like memory, and it takes in many things through tales of political activism and domestic comedy and fury to questions of art and love and experiences of longing and horror. The book also shifts in register, from the delicate to the analytic, to funny and explicit and heartbroken. It begins in the San Francisco of the early 1980s, when Ed and Bob have been broken up for a while. aIds is spreading, but Ed has yet to receive his diagnosis. It follows him backward through his life with Bob in the 1970s and forward through the harrowing particulars of death. It holds on to him and explores his art. It ends in his dreams.
The Abomination
by Paul GoldingCruising the seamy underbelly of London's gay scene, James Moore Zamora is as eager to repel men as he is to seduce them. Handsome, sophisticated, intelligent, and vain, beneath his immaculately maintained exterior lies an elaborate network of deeply embedded scars from a lifetime filled with betrayal and isolation. Born to negligent, self-absorbed parents and raised among upper crust society on a picturesque Spanish island, at nine-years-old James is sent off to an exclusive Catholic boarding school in England. Met with savageness by his peers, and seduced by the twisted affections of his teachers, he soon develops a self-consciousness that passes for self-awareness and a profound cynicism that masks savage anger. Charged with linguistic precision, brutal honesty, and caustic wit, The Abomination is a disturbing yet electrifying account of one man's tortured coming of age.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Aberrations in Black
by Roderick A. FergusonThe sociology of race relations in America typically describes an intersection of poverty, race, and economic discrimination. But what is missing from the picture--sexual difference--can be as instructive as what is present. In this ambitious work, Roderick A. Ferguson reveals how the discourses of sexuality are used to articulate theories of racial difference in the field of sociology. He shows how canonical sociology--Gunnar Myrdal, Ernest Burgess, Robert Park, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and William Julius Wilson--has measured African Americans's unsuitability for a liberal capitalist order in terms of their adherence to the norms of a heterosexual and patriarchal nuclear family model. In short, to the extent that African Americans's culture and behavior deviated from those norms, they would not achieve economic and racial equality. Aberrations in Black tells the story of canonical sociology's regulation of sexual difference as part of its general regulation of African American culture. Ferguson places this story within other stories--the narrative of capital's emergence and development, the histories of Marxism and revolutionary nationalism, and the novels that depict the gendered and sexual idiosyncrasies of African American culture--works by Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and Toni Morrison. In turn, this book tries to present another story--one in which people who presumably manifest the dysfunctions of capitalism are reconsidered as indictments of the norms of state, capital, and social science. Ferguson includes the first-ever discussion of a new archival discovery--a never-published chapter of Invisible Man that deals with a gay character in a way that complicates and illuminates Ellison's project. Unique in the way it situates critiques of race, gender, and sexuality within analyses of cultural, economic, and epistemological formations, Ferguson's work introduces a new mode of discourse--which Ferguson calls queer of color analysis--that helps to lay bare the mutual distortions of racial, economic, and sexual portrayals within sociology.

El ABC del género: Nociones mínimas para discutir el tema
by Mariana Gabarrot¿Cuáles son las diferencias entre sexo y género? ¿Son biológicas o culturales? ¿Qué queremos decir cuando hablamos de feminismo? ¿Existe el patriarcado? ¿Cómo detectamos el machismo? ¿Por qué tanto debate sobre el lenguaje incluyente? ¿Qué significan y para que utilizamos las siglas lgbtttiq+? ¿Qué es el acoso y la violencia de género? ¿Cómo entender los feminicidios? Mariana Gabarrot nos aclara éstas y muchas más preguntas con un lenguaje sencillo y amable, desentrañando que la idea de género no es una lucha entre hombres y mujeres; para entender la relación entre ser mujer y ser femenina, y ser hombre y ser masculino; para reconocer la estructura social que obliga a las mujeres a cumplir con el cuidado del hogar y de los hijos, mientras que los hombres deben ejercer el poder y ser el sostén de la familia. El abc del género es, como su subtítulo menciona, un manual con nociones mínimas para que podamos reflexionar, reconstruir el discurso y, de ser necesario, replantear nuestra mirada. Este libro busca abrir conversación sin polarizarla, propiciar el diálogo y la escucha sobre temas que parecen imposibles de debatir sin conflicto, pero de los cuales es apremiante hablar y generar espacios de encuentro para la toma de decisiones a nivel personal, familiar e institucional (en la escuela, el trabajo y las instancias de gobierno). La crítica dice: «No son nuestras diferencias lo que nos dividen. Es nuestra incapacidad de reconocer, aceptar y celebrar esas diferencias.»-Audre Lorde
