Queer

Written in the early 1950s but not published until decades later, Queer is a semi-autobiographical novel following Lee, a self-loathing American adrift in Mexico City, chasing an unrequited crush and grappling with his own disconnection. Sparse and haunting, it captures the raw vulnerability of queer desire and alienation during a time of deep repression.

~ Included for its unflinching portrait of queer longing and its place in the evolution of LGBTQ+ literature. A stark, introspective snapshot of one man’s search for meaning and connection. ~
