[quotesfrommyreading]

Those years that followed, the decade of the 1970s, represent a remarkable period of transformation for gays and lesbians, particularly those living in America's coastal cities. At its core, that transformation was about visibility. During those years, there was the first gay television movie; a sexy on-screen kiss between two men in Sunday, Blood Sunday; and the release of Cabaret, which has been hailed as the first movie that "really celebrated homosexuality." There were gains in politics too: Edward Koch, then serving in Congress, "became one of the first elected officials to publicly lobby on behalf of the homosexuals of Greenwich Village," Kaiser writes. Gay Pride Week was established. Perhaps most significantly: In December of 1973, the board of the American Psychiatric Association* voted 13-0 "to remove homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders."

book recs: feb 2024

(disclaimer: I have spent nearly three months languishing and sullen with post-COVID symptoms and have read, over dec-feb, eighty-one books. this is a ruthlessly streamlined list of recs that does not include, uh, all the rereading of sarah maclean and charlie adhara and georgette heyer books.)

AT FIRST SPITE by olivia dade - what if I moved in next to the man who ruined my engagement to his younger brother, and tried to ruin his life by playing monsterfucking audiobooks really loudly?? a heartfelt and lovely romance that also expertly sets up a great small-town setting for an ongoing series.

THE REFORMATORY by tananarive due - historical horror based on the existence of a real school for boys, clear-eyed and brutal in showing the the effect of racist systems in the 1950s american south. compelling as hell. even if you're not usually into horror, I'd recommend this: the ghost aspect is light-handed and really not as important as the horror of what humans do to other humans.

SOMETHING WILD & WONDERFUL by anita kelly - this is a m/m romance about walking the pacific crest trail which made me see the appeal of very long walks. a miracle! it's gentle and emotional and well put together; the characters really grabbed me.

THE BELL IN THE FOG by lev a.c. rosen - the followup to 'lavender house', and somehow even better?? a historical mystery series featuring a queer private eye in 1950s san francisco who looks into crimes against other queer people. amazing queer history! ACAB! I hope there are fifty more books in this series.

FEAST WHILE YOU CAN* by mikaella clements & onjuli datta - beautiful, greedy, terrifying small-town horror that is also a fucking fantastic, gorgeously written sapphic love story. this one IS for the horror fans. it gave me the absolute creeps but I couldn't put it down.

LADY EVE'S LAST CON* by rebecca fraimow - I described this on bsky as 'if you like Leverage, space opera, old screwball comedies, and dashing sapphics who are at all times spiritually wearing a leather jacket: this one is for you' and I stand by that. huge amounts of fun.

LONG LIVE EVIL* by sarah rees brennan - I will be screaming from here until forever about SRB's first adult fantasy book. if you like the isekai'd-into-a-villain-character setup and want it to be hilarious, genre-savvy and wildly angry and clever, you will roll around in this like a blood-stained mud puddle and then beg for more.

THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS* by melissa caruso - really clever and original fantasy about a woman on maternity leave who gets dragged into saving a cocktail party which is falling through increasingly murderous and bizarre dimensions. LISTEN, JUST GO WITH IT. it's a seriously cool adventure.

YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY* by cat sebastian - yes, it's another m/m romance about queer history in the mid 20th century, this one between a baseball player and the journalist assigned to write a story about his slump. made me care about baseball. cat is a genius.

*I read these as ARCs, they're not available yet but consider preordering or keep your eye out for them!

Hello! I was wondering if you knew when any more of the remixed classics series might be coming out, or if there’s other upcoming lgbt retellings of classics?

Thank you so much for your time and energy, I appreciate it !!

Oh I love that series so much <3 I don't know when more are coming out but I do know at least two more have sold - K. Ancrum will be doing Frankenstein (and though it's not part of the series, she also has an lgbt retelling of the Icarus myth out next week called Icarus that looks amazing), and Alex Brown will be doing Dracula - that's the most recently announced one and it'll be called Renfield, at least for now. (If you're interested in more Greek mythology retellings, hit me up again, because there are a few coming soon.)

As for others, I recently loved Lev Rosen's Emmett and there's a new Emma retelling done as a graphic novel coming in September called Mismatched: https://amzn.to/491giz5. Rabbit & Juliet by Rebecca Stafford also comes out in September: https://lgbtqreads.com/2024/02/09/exclusive-cover-reveal-rabbit-juliet-by-rebecca-stafford/ and in November, Not for the Faint of Heart by Lex Croucher isn't a retelling, but it's a historical Sapphic romance starring the granddaughter of Robin Hood: https://amzn.to/4cjIy33. In Adult, speaking of Dracula, Kiersten White has Lucy Undying also coming in September (September is very gay this year. Also extremely trans.)

Hi! I wanted to ask if you had an all-stars list. Like recommendations of best of all time or personal favourites?

That's a great question, and I don't think I do! I feel like it'd be changing all the time. I can tell you a few by genre, if that helps?

Contemporary F/F Romance: Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

Contemporary M/F Romance: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

(My fave contemp M/M Romance was by an author I would definitely never recommend again, and I'm not as well read in it now as I used to be, so I'll just mention my most recent fave, which is You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky)

Women's Fic: Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Short Stories: Rainbow Rainbow by Lydia Conklin

Historical Romance: The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite

Historical Mystery: Lavender House by LC Rosen

Historical Thriller: The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros

Contemporary Thriller: Temper by Layne Fargo

Adult Fantasy: The Unspoken Name by AK Larkwood

YA Fantasy: Black Wings Beating by Alex London (trilogy), The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski (duology), Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

YA Sci-Fi: Crownchasers by Rebecca Coffindaffer (series), The Disasters by MK England (standalone)

YA Paranormal: Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

YA Magical Realism: Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore

YA Psych Thriller: The Wicker King by K. Ancrum

That feels like a long enough list to start with!

Lecture: Art and Words (by Rebecca Beardmore) (24.10.23)

“All writing is meant to be seen.” - Claude Mouchard

Words are a part of language, and language can carry various meanings (spiritual, conceptual, political, etc.) and materiality (in their pictorial nature).

“The written word is not gazed upon like an image so much as traversed, like a gateway to its implied meaning.” - Rebecca

Words can also shift in meaning over time.

Language is intrinsic to identity so, in losing it, we lose part of identity.

It is important to consider how language is framed, as it can be: 

Culturally-coded: connotations and symbolism of words, regional dialects of languages, habitual understanding of linguistics, etc.

Technologically-mediated: communicating through technology, accessibility to language and ideas, etc.

Typography has long been regarded as an invisible art form traditionally favoured in communication.

Examples:

Jasper John’s 0 through 9 (1961)

Richard Tipping’s Smothered - design for a neon (1980)

Fiona Banner’s Every word unmade (2007)

“… I was thinking about a kind of unmaking of language. As if you could make every word, or story imaginable, from these 26 letters.” - Fiona Banner (phonetic deconstruction of language)

Tony Albert’s Pay Attention (2009-2010)

“…throughout international colonial history, the removal of language and voice has been instrumental in abolishing the custodial practice and ritual of Indigenous cultures.” - Glenn Iseger-Pilkington in his essay on Albert’s work

Typography as an art form:

Kay Rosen’s Phantom Limb (1993/2011), Read Lips (1985/2013), Map of the world: Yours Ours (2014), Angered and Deranged (2017-2019) and SOB (2020)

Ed Ruscha’s OOF (1962), Self (1967), Zoo (1969), Hollywood Study (1968) and Mint (1969)

Julius Popp’s bit.fall (2001-2006)
