Introduction to Focus
Introduction to Focus:Speculative Fiction Frederick Luis Aldama (bio) There's something thrilling about stepping into a world that we at once recognize, and that is fantastically and superlatively new.

Too, while it is Kureishi’s most autobiographically confessional work to date, it tiptoes most lightly of his works around issues of racial and sexual identity formati…

Often Chicano/a representations of gay and lesbian experiences in literature and film are analyzed simply as propaganda. The cognitive, emotional, and narrational ingredients (that is, the subject matter and the formal traits) of those representations are frequently reduced to a priori agendas that emphasize a politics of differenc…
