A history of racialized sexuality in the US suggests that sexuality is saturated by race even in American literature written by white gay men. Reading Edmund White’s coming out novel, A Boy’s Own Story, in relation to a little-known work of gay pulp fiction, André Tellier’s Twilight Men, the essay provides a fictional example of the ways white gay identities might be seen simultaneously to collude with and undermine the history of whiteness. The essay also elaborates a strategy for queer reading of the incoherencies of sexual identities within multiple historical discourses.

The past few years have seen the publication of a number of volumes that mine the multiple perspectives of William Faulkner’s writing. Ted Atkinson’s Faulkner and the Great Depression: Aesthetics, Ideology, and Cultural Politics (2006) explores the ways in which various characters in Faulkner’s novels written during the years of the Great Depression express conflicting ideologies regarding that economic crisis, and Margaret Donovan Bauer’s William Faulkner’s Legacy: “What Shadow, What Stain, What Mark” (2005) seeks to uncover previously hidden or silenced perspectives in Faulkner’s works by rereading his novels backward through the lenses of writing by other southerners since Faulkner.
