Bookmarked this article a few days ago.  I look forward to reading it and disagreeing with most of it :-)

Thanks so much for this. I've spent the last few years reading every gay novel and autobiography I can.

What exactly does "Queer" encompass ?

Is this everyone who isn't mainstream ?

I just finished reading the article, and was surprised (and enlightened) to realize how little "queer" literature I have read, especially in recent years, when I seem to have lost interest in fiction and poetry of any kind. The article made me only mildly curious about most of the works the panel discussed. I am even older and more irrelevant than I realized.

Oh wow!  Even though I read the article in June, I just revisited this thread, took another look at the article, and realized that The Story of Harold is on it.  I thought Edmund White and I were the only people alive who know about this book.  And I see that my Hardcover is now worth half a month's rent!
