Gayest Literature You've Read

[fleshisyummy]

For me, it's gotta be Demian and A Separate Peace.

I realize Demian was supposed to be more of a symbol than a character, but Demian's mom seemed to be shoehorned in there as an appropriate heterosexual love interest for the main character since she was pretty much a female version of Demian. I kind of had to laugh at the end when Demain kissed the main character and was all, "Oh, it's from my mom."

A Separate Peace is pretty self-explanatory if you've read it. It's pretty much a romantic story between two guys.

Anyway, what's the gayest literature you've read either by choice or for school?

Do you mean other than all the gay romance I read? Or is gay romance the answer.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[fleshisyummy]

Ha ha. I should have phrased it better. I meant more like subtextually gay.

other than actual gay literature....maybe the great gatsby? pretty gay. I'm pretty sure there's more but nothing specific is coming to mind atm

sa

also Dracula. so much homoeroticism (and not always the good kind. Dracula was fucking creepy, dear christ)

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[fleshisyummy]

Huh. I never actually go that vibe from Great Gatsby. Nick just came off as an observer to me more than anything else. Then again, I wasn't that interested in it, so I didn't pay that much attention.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

I can see what people are talking about when they see the gay in Gatsby, but I didn't pick up any of that when I read it myself. Then again, I read it as a novel and not as a class assignment, so I wasn't looking for anything except what was right there on the pages.

By choice? A lesbian romance novel. [Technically, it was "lesbian interest" but we all know what that means, right?]

At school...Lord of the Flies. My class seems to have been one of the few where the whole class didn't come out shipping someone - and I suspect that's more to do with the teacher being obsessed with violence in it than anything else.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[fleshisyummy]

Yeah, I read Lord of the Flies on my own, but there was certainly some tension there. Simon kind of came off as having some sort of crush on Ralph, and then there was all the tension between Ralph and Jack. It's kind of weird to think about since they're little boys, though.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[vethica]

Oh god yes, Lord of the Flies. Piggy/Ralph OTP fight me.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[takaraikarin]

Oh geez, Lord of the Flies has soo much homosexual undertones to me

Brideshead Revisited.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[lunabee34]

Love that book.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[(Anonymous)]

The Picture of Dorian Gray comes to mind. Partly because the gay subtext was totally intentional on Wilde's part.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[gondremark]

It wasn't even subtext. It was just text that got edited and pushed around in the hopes that no one was gay enough to notice it.
The result, though, is pretty dang gay and I love it.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[republicanism]

the subtext that dare not speak its name!!!

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[gondremark]

Subtextually gay? Brideshead Revisted.
The movie was rather overtly gay, but in the book it was mostly all subtext (one minor character, Anthony, was openly gay; anything between Sebastian and the Narrator was implied). Important and very real and intentional subtext that ran through the whole story like an undercurrent, but still subtext.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[dethtoll]

There's a short story in a book I read (book is called Lovecraft Unbound and it's a bunch of pieces by various authors inspired by Lovecraft) that had some strong gay under/overtones.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

Which one? You cannot say that and not give us a title. I want my eldritch abomination and my gay all at the same time!

+1

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, Demian was pretty gay. Its author, Thomas Mann, was closeted gay.
It was a great read with my teacher!

Re: +1

[fleshisyummy]

Oh, I did not know that. That makes a lot of sense, then!

Re: +1

Demian was written by Hermann Hesse.

'Flight of the Heron' by DK Broster. Scotland 1745; Jacobite chieftain meets English officer... It's also a truly exciting historical adventure novel.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

Eight Days of Luke comes to mind. Let's just sit here and stare at sleeping Loki for awhile more.

Re: Gayest Literature You've Read

[ginainthekingsroad]

I'm reading The Mask of Apollo right now, on my father's recommendation. I'm liking it pretty well, but I'm mostly just kind of curious as to what he sees in it beyond the really-well-written-ancient-historical-fiction angle (which I'm guessing is like 90% of his interest) because tbh I find his taste more than a little hetero-normative. Anyway, it's got some interesting queer themes with a good basis in ancient Greek culture. But it's FAR from explicit, as it's all about like soul-love and also it was written in 1968. There's even a character who might by today's standards be considered MTF or genderqueer!
