The Gay Canon — Robert Drake

Attempting to identify the authoritative texts on male homosexual culture, Robert Drake presents an illuminating anthology of 23 evocative works in The Gay Canon: Great Books Every Gay Man Should Read. Exploring the depth and aim of his syllabus, Drake includes the works of E.M. Forster, Marcel Proust and Tony Kushner, along with other great writers who, either through their own orientation or content, reflect upon a culture that has long since been ignored within the literary tradition.
