There are French writers in France and North America who are gay or lesbian, but do they practice lesbian and gay writing? In "Same Sex/Different Text? Gay and Lesbian Writing in French," lesbian and gay writers are juxtaposed; photographs and texts look at each other; and literary observers ask about "gay erotics," queer rhetoric, and how to sort out the effects of sexual preference, homophobia, time and place, and literary and artistic tradition.
