Description
by James Penha (Author)
To paraphrase Toni Morrison: If there's a folk tale you want to read but it hasn't been written yet, you must write it. In Queer as Folk Tales, James Penha has done exactly that-he has gathered ancient myths and legends and reimagined them with queer lovers at their heart, the stories he, like so many LGBTQ2+ readers, has longed for.
In these tales... A gay boy steps into a photograph to find happiness. A dying man can rest only after seeking forgiveness from the trans celebrity he once denied. A woman surrenders to passion in the arms of a ghostly, lesbian wraith. Two gay fishermen fall afoul of a dragon. A Chinese student searches for the legendary god of queers. And a Norse god embraces his pansexuality when he falls for a giant. In these tales we ask... Can queer desire bloom with a ghost? Which sleeping hunk will the prince decide needs his kiss? Can a poet save the beautiful young ginger trapped in a fox's body? Who are the queer heroes still remembered after thousands of years?Care
