Scarlet Pansy
"A Scarlet Pansy makes an important queer intervention in the historical record of how to be gay. It is a great pleasure to be brought out into pre-Stonewall gay culture along with the protagonist, and to see this combination of camp and sex." -- -Nicholas de Villiers University of North Florida "A dizzying mix of low camp and high drama, A Scarlet Pansy is at once laugh-out-loud funny, startling, odd, and ultimately-through the lens of our queer world today-very moving. Robert J. Corber's insightful and astute Introduction places the novel in a clear historical context while continually highlighting the emotional power and the camp glory of the novel and the erotic adventures of its hero/heroine, Fay Etrange." -- -Michael Bronski Harvard University
A uniquely delightful and penetrating work of literature, resonating as much with present-day culture as it is illuminating of our understanding of queer history, and challenging our notions of what makes a man a woman, and vice versa. Les mer

A uniquely delightful and penetrating work of literature, resonating as much with present-day culture as it is illuminating of our understanding of queer history, and challenging our notions of what makes a man a woman, and vice versa. A Scarlet Pansy stands apart from similar fiction of its time--as well as the ensuing decades--by celebrating rather than pathologizing its effeminate and sexually adventurous protagonist.
