Provocative, subtle, polemical, reasoned, contentious, witty-this is one of the first works to bring the insights of American gender studies and queer theory to modern French literature. It focuses on the complex relations among narrative, theory, interpretation, and homosexuality in the work of Marcel Proust, Roland Barthes, Michel Tournier, and Renaud Camus.
