Overview
Knowing that queer voices have been making themselves heard in
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria decades before Stonewall, editors
Gary Schmidt and Merrill Cole curated thrilling snapshots of prose
fiction from more than twenty contemporary writers whose work
defies stereotypes, disciplines, and expectations. These authors
produce fiction for adults and young people that celebrates the
multiplicity of the present, casts a queer eye on the past, and
interrogates LGBTQ+ futures. These outstanding texts exemplify the
glittering variety of styles, themes, settings, and subjects
addressed by openly queer authors who write in German today. They
explore identity, sexuality, history, fantasy, loss, and discovery.
Their authors, narrators, and characters explore gender
nonconformity and living queer everywhere from city centers to
rural communities. They are gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and
nonbinary. They are exiles, immigrants, and travelers through time
and space. Witty, titillating, and a delight to read,
Quertext opens up new worlds of experience for readers
interested in queer life beyond the Anglophone world. Featuring
