Table of ContentsReviewsGove's book really packs a punch. Rather than perceiving gay popular fiction as a reflection of society's behavioural patterns, he highlights its importance as a catalyst for change. In doing so, he brings the subject to life and makes it more accessible to everyone. Cruising Culture develops an important reading of the cultural contradictions of gay promiscuity. He writes compellingly and accessibly about the complexity of fantasy the ecstasy and the distress of human desire. -- Jonathan Dollimore, author of Sexual Dissidence I found this a wonderful piece of work. It is first-rate both as cultural critique and as literary analysis. -- Alexander Doty, author of Making Things Perfectly Queer Rigorous and revealing. -- Gregory Woods, author of A History of Gay Literature Gove's book really packs a punch.
