The Inverted Gaze

François Cusset: François Cusset (French Theory) investigates the queering of the French literary canon by American writers and scholars in this daring and free-minded journey across six centuries of literary classics and sexual polemics. He presents the foundations and rationale for American queer theory, and provides an overview of the reinterpretation of the French (and Anglo) literary canon from a queer perspective.
David Homel: David Homel was born and raised in Chicago in 1952. He has been a journalist, editor, literary translator, and teacher, and has won numerous awards for translation, including the Governor General's Award for Literature, Canada's highest literary honor.
