Inhalt
An in-depth collection of Russiona gay literature - from the classics of the 19th century Golden Age to the erotica of the »New Russia«. 30 Authors in over 400 pages of brilliant writing make this pioneering anthology a publishing event. - Part One: »Gay Themes in Golden Age Literature« (19th century) includes several of its most famous authors (Pushkin, Tolstoy, etc.). Not surprisingly, many of the materials in this section have been marginalized in various ways, or the selections themselves marginalize homosexuality by setting it in another culture or restricting it to a childhood phase. - Part Two: »The First Flowering of Gay Culture,« demonstrates the explosion of gay literature in the Silver Age - early 20th century (Kuzmin, Esenin, Klyuev, etc.). The flowering of gay culture at the beginning of the 20th century was to be short-lived, however. In 1933, homosexuality was criminalized anew under Stalin. Given the strict censorship, it is not surprising that no gay-themed works were published in Russia until glasnost relaxed the controls. Instead, homosexuality became one of the many themes banished to underground writing. - Part Three: »Hidden from View« offers a glimpse into the lives and writings of six authors who, from the 1920s to the 1980s, found themselves relegated to underground or emigre writing (Kharitonov, Pereleshin, etc.). - Part Four: »Gay Life Reborn« shows the post-Soviet proliferation of gay-themed materials, and is the most eclectic. In this section is a wealth of material from the first gay journals: stories, poems, letters, as well as gay-themed work by such prominent writers as Makanin and Aksyonov.
