"""An enthralling enquiry into queer canonicity through the lens of the writer-as-scribe. Queer Rebels is compulsory reading for anyone interested in Spanish gay writing."" Alfredo Martínez Expósito, University of Melbourne ""Queer Rebels by Łukasz Smuga is an exciting and accurate portrayal of gay literature in Spain between Franco’s death and the same-sex partnership laws. With a retrospective on Lorca, the author combines new theses and insights on authors such as Juan Goytisolo, Juan Gil-Albert, Eduardo Mendicutti, Álvaro Pombo or Luisgé Martín."" Dieter Ingenschay, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ""A strong, detailed contribution to queer discourses in post-Franco Spanish cultural landscape. Dr Smuga’s work is an investigation on key tropes in Spanish homosexual writing in the work of canonical authors."" Alberto Mira, Oxford Brookes University ""While acknowledging the work of his predecessors, Smuga engages in subtle polemics and speaks in his own voice in every chapter. That beautifully modulated voice, coupled with erudition and sense of composition, makes reading Queer Rebels particularly rewarding."" Dominika Ferens, Uniwersytet Wrocławski"
