Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
"Who's Yer Daddy? offers readers of gay male literature a keen and engaging journey.
In this anthology, thirty-nine gay authors discuss individuals who have influenced
them-- their inspirational "daddies." The essayists include fiction writers, poets,
and performance artists, both honored masters of contemporary literature and those
just beginning to blaze their own trails. They find their artistic ancestry among
not only literary icons--Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, André Gide, Frank O'Hara, James
Baldwin, Edmund White--but also a roster of figures whose creative territories are
startlingly wide and vital, from Botticelli to Bette Midler to Captain Kirk. Some
writers chronicle an entire tribal council of mentors; others describe a transformative
encounter with a particular individual, including teachers and friends whose guidance
or example cracked open their artistic selves. Perhaps most moving are the handful
of writers who answered the question literally, writing intimately of their own fathers
and their literary inheritance. This rich volume presents intriguing insights into
the contemporary gay literary aesthetic."--Publisher's website
