Síntesis:
"OutWrite: The Speeches that Shaped LGBTQ Literary Culture gathers twenty-seven speeches from the eight national OutWrite conferences held between 1990 and 1999. OutWrite conferences played a crucial role in defining, expanding, and amplifying LGBTQ literary culture by bringing together LGBTQ writers of the 1990s in raucous events highlighted by keynote addresses, plenary sessions, and workshops coupled with late nights of drinking, dancing, hookups, and other forms of literary revelry. Speeches by Allen Ginsberg, Judy Grahn, Sarah Schulman, Essex Hemphill, Pat Califia, Dorothy Allison, Allan Gurganus, Chrystos, John Preston, Linda Villarosa, Edmund White, Tony Kushner, Samuel Delany, and many more are featured. The OutWrite conferences defined a new, queer literary canon and a movement of queer literary production. Now readers can revisit the speeches, arguments, and ideas from OutWrite as a touchstone for imagining what the future might hold for LGBTQ creative, literary, and artistic work"-- Provided by publisher.
