"Tendencies" brings together for the first time the essays that
have made Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick "the soft-spoken queen of gay
studies" ("Rolling Stone"). Combining poetry, wit, polemic, and
dazzling scholarship with memorial and autobiography, these essays
have set new standards of passion and truthfulness for current
theoretical writing.
The essays range from Diderot, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James to
queer kids and twelve-step programs; from "Jane Austen and the
Masturbating Girl" to a performance piece on Divine written with
Michael Moon; from political correctness and the poetics of
spanking to the experience of breast cancer in a world ravaged and
reshaped by AIDS. What unites "Tendencies" is a vision of a new
queer politics and thought that, however demanding and dangerous,
can also be intent, inclusive, writerly, physical, and sometimes
giddily fun.
