Fags, Hags and Queer Sisters is a provocative account of the importance of women and cross-gender identification in gay male culture. It offers a range of cultural readings from Tennessee William's classic A Streetcar Named Desire and Forster's 'gay' novel Maurice through Pulp Fiction , queer lifestyle magazines, Roseanne , slash fan fiction and Jarman's Edward II to Almodovar's camp classic Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown . Theoretically sophisticated, yet passionate, accessible and opinionated, Fags, Hags and Queer Sisters takes issue with many of the sacred cows of contemporary gay politics, and offers a number of new concepts in lesbian and gay theory.

Industry Reviews

'Maddison's sharp and detailed account of heterosocial relationships between queer men and straight women - and of their representation on stage, in film, on television, and in contemporary fiction - is a 'must read' for anyone concerned with popular culture and cultural studies.' - Alexander Doty, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania
