Pages : 331
Book Description
Abbey Brooks, Gila High freshman-to-be, never thought a hellish day of shopping at the mall with her best friend, Kate, could change her life. But when she orders French fries from the flirtatious Hot Dog on a Stick Chick, she gets more than deep-fried potatoes. Abbey tries to ignore the weird, happy feeling in her gut, but that proves to be as impossible as avoiding the very insistent (and—rumor has it—very lesbian) players on Gila High’s girls’ basketball team. They want freakishly long-legged Abbey to try out, and Abbey doesn’t hate the idea. But Kate made Abbey pinky swear to avoid basketball and to keep away from the you- know-who girls on the team. Sometimes promises can’t be kept. And sometimes girls in uniform are impossible to resist.

Gay Faulkner
Author: Phillip Gordon
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496826019
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The life and works of William Faulkner have generated numerous biographical studies exploring how Faulkner understood southern history, race, his relationship to art, and his place in the canons of American and world literature. However, some details on Faulkner’s life collected by his early biographers never made it into published form or, when they did, appeared in marginalized stories and cryptic references. The biographical record of William Faulkner’s life has yet to come to terms with the life-long friendships he maintained with gay men, the extent to which he immersed himself into gay communities in Greenwich Village and New Orleans, and how profoundly this part of his life influenced his “apocryphal” creation of Yoknapatawpha County. Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond explores the intimate friendships Faulkner maintained with gay men, among them Ben Wasson, William Spratling, and Hubert Creekmore, and places his fiction into established canons of LGBTQ literature, including World War I literature and representations of homosexuality from the Cold War. The book offers a full consideration of his relationship to gay history and identity in the twentieth century, giving rise to a new understanding of this most important of American authors.

Life is the most difficult exam…. The hottest guy on campus wasn't the head of the football team or the class president. He was the teaching assistant assigned to my art history class. I knew it was wrong to get involved, but I couldn't help myself. I never met anyone who could talk about all the great painters with such passion. Looking deep into his eyes, I felt like I met my soulmate. The only problem was the university's policy against teaching assistants and undergraduates dating. And my brother, who hated the idea. And my sister, who wanted to date my crush. Oh yeah, and my parents and his parents and the world in general. Basically everyone we knew had some reason they wanted us to stay away from each other. Flying in the face of all rational arguments, Liam and I knew we were meant to be together. It didn't matter how much trouble we would get in. But when he buckled under pressure from the dean and called things off, I suffered the worst kind of betrayal. He was in my heart and in my mind even though I wasn't allowed to be with him. And then my brother invited him to share Christmas with the family, so he was literally right down the hall. This would end in nothing but heartbreak.
