A Queer Love Story : The Letters of Jane Rule and Rick Bebout Hardback
Edited by Marilyn Schuster
Part of the Sexuality Studies series
Hardback
Description
In August 1989, Jane Rule – novelist, essayist, and the first widely recognized “public lesbian†in North America – summed up the first eight years of her correspondence with Rick Bébout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic: “It seems to me that what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.â€Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island in British Columbia but wrote a column for the magazine.
Bébout was a resident of and devoted to Toronto’s gay village.
A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of their correspondence.
At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues and events of the 1980s and ’90s, including HIV/AIDS, censorship, youth sexuality, public sex and S/M, Toronto’s infamous bath raids, and state regulation of identity and desire.
