Beyond Same-Sex Desire

Pierre Loti's Iceland Fisherman as an Example of Other Ways of Reading Literature as Gay

Pages 77-96 | Published online: 05 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

Gay male literature has traditionally been defined as writing that somehow depicts male same-sex attraction. Following in the steps of several scholars of lesbian literature, Berrong uses Pierre Loti's novel Iceland Fisherman (1886), which does not depict male same-sex attraction, to propose other ways of reading literature as gay, and hence of understanding gay male subjectivity.
