Reviews

"Fleishman takes us on an eye-opening journey in which narrative flamboyance knowingly and craftily signifies any number of shifting, elusive, and evolving aspects of queer sexuality; this was a story waiting for Fleishman to tell it.""—Michael Lucey, University of California, Berkeley “A scintillating book. Flamboyant Fictions is highly original and beautifully written. Fleishman offers elegant, economical, and brilliant reflections on difficult questions about queerness and art.”—Emma Wilson, University of Cambridge"
