The Queer Bookshelf A Reader's Guide

I have always been very interested in queer literature, especially lesser-known voices from the past & present. Layla McCay, who herself hosts queer book clubs and knows the "scene", created a phenomenal work of art bringing together queer voices from all over the world. What I found really compelling while reading the book, apart from her engaging writing style, is her broad perspective on lesbian literature. Starting from ancient queer classics, such as the "Epic of Gilgamesh", trough queer icon Virginia Woolf, to modern classics - she shines a light on all decades of queer writing and gender identities (including literature from all continents). I can only recommend this book to everyone, regardless of wheter you have any prior knowledge of queer literature :) Ps: The book includes several lists & categories to curate your own personal queer bookshelf ;)
