Out of the Blue: Russia's Hidden Gay Literature : An Anthology

Rating:
Summary: Gay Side of Famous Russian Literature
Review: Joint efforts of such experts in Russia as Kevin Moss and Simon Karlinsky backed up during fifteen years (!) by the Gay Sunshine publisher Winston Leland made this book possible. Being Russian and gay, I can say in all sincerety - there is not much to be added to this perfect work. They highlighted slight homosexual overtones in the writings of such celebrities as Pushkin and Tolstoi, gave us an insight into gay side of life of Nikolai Gogol and introduced the English-speaking readers to Russian gay writers, whose works were hushed up during the Soviet era. The translation are exquisite. The book is both an entertaining reading and an excellent reference source.
