dc.description.abstract |
The following work is an effort to describe the literary output of writers Andrew Holleran and Larry Kramer produced before, during and after the HIV/AIDS epidemic. How these authors describe gay sodality, that is, the culture makeup and practices of gay men as a community, varies as their literature encounters cultural trauma. In analyzing how the thematic body of their work shifts across a linear timeline, I argue Kramer and Holleran comparatively construct another sense of gay sodality in the experienced engagement with their texts along with the particular qualities of how these sodalities operate. |
