The bestselling author of The Culture of Desire journeys into the minds of gay men in America and elsewhere to discover how their lives are shaped by time, nation, and desire. In a brilliant argument, Browning shows how and why the gay movement could have only arisen in America.

Customer Reviews

Excellent.

Best thing I've yet read on why so many of us younger, er, gays, are feeling increasingly "post-gay."

Awesome and inspiring

Unfortunately, this book will probably sell only half as well as Browning's blockbuster "The Culture of Desire." That's because it's twice as good. "Queer Geography" is a sexy read, but it's also very smart, which may make it a challenge to readers unwilling or unable to look beyond 1970's ideas of what it means to be gay. But it should be required reading for anybody who's ever felt that maybe, just maybe, there's a life outside of dumbed-down gay magazines.
