Description: A Queer Reader is a rich and provocative collection of writings about male homosexuality - a gay version of Bartlett's Quotations, with authors ranging from Plato to Andy Warhol.

Arranging entries chronologically and drawing on sources from the Satyricon to Gay News, from Michelangelo's sonnets to a speech in the House of Lords, from sexually explicit graffiti found in Pompeii to a Playboy interview with David Bowie, Patrick Higgins uses novels, biographies, autobiographies, histories, and ephemera to present gay history as never before.
