  • Queer Voices from Japan

    Mark J Mclelland, Mark Mclelland et al.BOOKQueer Voices from Japan2007

I argue that women writers draw upon mainstream representations of homosexual men as somehow feminine, but treat this stereotype favourably, creating the figure of the 'beautiful youth' an androgynous being who possesses a feminine sensibility and yet experi…
