Krátky popis
'Textured literary portraits of the masculine mind and body'Raymond
Antrobus, author of The PerseveranceIn October 1960, James Baldwin
and John Cheever spoke on a panel together at San Francisco State
College. The troubled state of American society was under
discussion, which Baldwin incisively diagnosed as a 'failure of the
masculine sensibility'. Strange Relations explores this crisis in
mid-century masculinity and the lives and works of four bisexual
writers who fought to express and embody alternate
possibilities.Building on Walt Whitman's philosophy of the love
between men, Ralf Webb considers the ways in which Tennessee
Williams and Carson McCullers, as well as Cheever and Baldwin,
resisted in their art, as well as in their relationships, the
damaging expectations of contemporary gender and sexuality.With a
curious, intelligent and sensitive gaze, Ralf Webb sheds new light
on each writer. Together, these artists offer a powerful and moving
argument for a transformative new masculinity, grounded in
fluidity, love and intimacy.'Webb's writing is of a quality rarely
seen, and his book returns you to the world slightly changed,
equipped with another angle of vision on the quiddity of
man'Diarmuid Hester, author of Nothing Ever Just Disappears
