GLBT Literature
GLBT novels traditionally deal with love between same sex couples, but in real life that love is simply part of ordinary life. Kabuki in a G-String brings the concept of the GLBT novel to where writers like David Leavitt, Christopher Bram and others have taken it – to ordinariness, in which the struggle for identity is complex and complicated but ultimately resolvable. Inthis novel, Chad Newsome, who left West Texas in youth, must decide whether to stay in Paris with his French Moroccan partner or return to Lubbock. To be gay in Paris is not the same as being gay in Lubbock, Texas. As Chad’s cousin Roberta Martin discovers in her quest to bring her cousin home, much of what she has been taught about GLBT men and women dissolves amid the beauty and urban sophistication of Paris. Good GLBT literature changes perceptions, as Kabuki in a G-String does, but it also promotes love between same sex couples as an ordinary aspect of human life – a way of achieving intimacy.
This novel places its characters in the middle of advanced, sophisticated, open Paris and America’s ongoing depressing culture wars. GLBT literature should read like Kabuki in a G-String.
