OutWriteThe Speeches That Shaped LGBTQ Literary Culture\nAuthor(s): Julie R. Enszer, Elena Gross\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Rutgers University Press, United States\nImprint: Rutgers University Press\nISBN-13: 9781978828049, 978-1978828049\nSynopsis\nRunning from 1990 to 1999, the annual OutWrite conference played a pivotal role in shaping LGBTQ literary culture in the United States and its emerging canon. OutWrite provided a space where literary lions who had made their reputations before the gay liberation movement-like Edward Albee, John Rechy, and Samuel R. Delany-could mingle, network, and flirt with a new generation of emerging queer writers like Tony Kushner, Alison Bechdel, and Sarah Schulman.\n This collection gives readers a taste of this fabulous moment in LGBTQ literary history with twenty-seven of the most memorable speeches from the OutWrite conference, including both keynote addresses and panel presentations. These talks are drawn from a diverse array of contributors.
