| Summary: | "In Whitaker's commentary, he shows how powerfully gay literature has been impacted by societal mores. The First Time I Met Frank O'Hara begins with the nineteenth century, before there were many openly gay American writers; continues with what Whitaker calls the "gay century," the period when he suggests the gay sensibility flourished; and closes with the twenty-first, in which he notes that a gay sensibility survives despite the mainstreaming of gay culture."--Jacket. |
