Sinopsis

The Green Carnations: Gay Classics Boxed Set offers a vivid exploration of themes centered around love, identity, and societal norms, capturing the essence of life and literature from eras past. The curated selections span across a range of literary styles, including the decadence of Wilde, the adventurous narratives of Winthrop, and the audacious escapades of Petronius. This collection emphasizes the dynamic spectrum of queer narratives, encapsulating tales of both harm and liberation, showcasing the beauty and complexity of same-sex love within their contexts, thus offering a rich tableau of the queer experience through history. The anthology brings together the works of varied and influential voices such as Oscar Wilde, known for his sharp wit, and Harlan Cozad McIntosh, an eloquent chronicler of personal and social challenges. This gathering spans different cultural and historical moments, from the classical decadence reflected in Petronius' work to modern narratives depicting nuanced psychological landscapes. These authors, through their unique perspectives, have collectively unfolded the richness of an underrepresented narrative within the greater literary canon, echoing the continuous struggle and resilience found within LGBTQ+ communities. This compilation serves as an indispensable resource for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the multiplicity of queer literary artistry. The Green Carnations presents an opportunity to engage with a variety of narratives that have both shaped and defied traditional literary movements. When readers engage with this collection, they are invited not only into a world of diversified storytelling but also into a cultural dialogue that deepens comprehension of queer heritage and its profound impact on literature. A must-read for its breadth of insights and educational merit, this set is a testament to the enduring power and diversity of queer voices in literature."}

    Carson Ballard isn’t only lactose intolerant—he’s intolerable. No wonder his assistant quit on him without notice. 
    Okay, okay, he has a right to be angry at me for dumping an armful of sticky breakfast plates on his head. It was an accident, I swear. 
    But now I’m out of a job—not that I’m any good at waiting tables—and Carson’s mother is offering to hire me. 
    There’s no way I can work for him. I may be from the sticks, but Davis Turner is nobody’s fool. Not anymore. 
    I refuse to be Carson’s next victim. Something will turn up. I’ll take anything. As long as I can hide away in the city, where my ex can’t find me. 
    Except my bank account is at rock bottom and rent is due. I’m running out of food. And time. 
    I guess I have to work for Carson. He’ll be my boss—nothing more. I can keep things professional. 
    There’s just one little problem. 
    Carson may not be as horrible as I thought. He’s trying so hard to right the wrongs of his father and brother, who left him with a mess most people would walk away from. 
    But Carson Ballard isn’t most people. And he won’t accept defeat. 
    Damn you, Carson. 
    Why do you have to be so nice...so generous…so wickedly funny and so, so sexy? 
    You’re offering me a future…if I can ignore the mistakes of my past. 
    You’re an impossible man who’s making everything possible. 
    How can I not fall for you?

    From LAMBDA Literary Award winner Sina Queyras, Rooms offers a peek into the defining spaces a young queer writer moved through as they found their way from a life of chaos to a life of the mind
    		 
    Thirty years ago, a professor threw a chair at Sina Queyras after they’d turned in an essay on Virginia Woolf.
    		 
    Queyras returns to that contentious first encounter with Virignia Woolf to recover the body and thinking of that time. Using Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own as a touchstone, this book is both an homage to and provocation of the idea of a room of one’s own at the centre of our idea of a literary life.
    		 
    How central is the room? And what happens once we get one? Do we inhabit our rooms? Or do the rooms contain us? Blending memoir, prose, tweets, poetry, and criticism, Rooms offers a peek into the defining spaces a young queer writer moved through as they found their way from a life of chaos to a life of the mind, and from a very private life of the mind to a public life of the page, and from a life of the page into a life in the Academy, the Internet, and on social media.
