Sea of Stories: The Shaping Power of Narrative in Gay and Lesbian

lesbian studies, political movements, cultural studies, and
narratology, and anyone interested in gay history will want to
explore these intriguing narratives on topics such as sex and sin
in the South, selling gay literature before Stonewall, growing up
gay in India, and the story of an interracial male couple facing
homophobic ignorance in a small town.A Sea of Stories also contains
creative fiction and nonfiction love stories, war stories, oral
stories, and bibliographies, and a beautiful post-Stonewell and
post-modern narrative set on a South African seascape that tells
the story of two professional men and the possibility of a kiss.

phrase Dr. De Cecco used in his keynote address to the "History and

sociological viewpoints and homosexuality in literature. These
courageous stories will assist readers to know themselves more
deeply, to identify wih others, and to interpret gay and lesbian
experiences in different narrative forms.
