Sibling bonds, both literal and figurative, have had a crucial role
in American writings of queer desire and identity. In nuanced and
original readings, Denis Flannery demonstrates the centrality of
fraternal and sororal love to queer strands of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century texts from the elemental wildnesses of Moby-Dick
to David Fincher's postmodern cinema; from the brutal and comic
decorum of Henry James's major fiction to the elegiac
memoir-writing of Jamaica Kincaid. Questions driving Flannery's
exploration of sibling relations: How do we characterize the
relationship between sibling love, queer possibility and the formal
intensities of American writing? Why do so many American texts rely
on the presence of sibling love to articulate queer desire? Why is
brotherhood invoked as a positive value in announcements of United
States national aspirations but used repeatedly and ominously in
that nation's texts to herald a fall? Written with lyrical clarity
and verve, On Sibling Love, Queer Attachment and American Writing
is an important contribution to queer theory; to American studies;
and to the study of culture, writing and affect.
