gay literature

[leeda]

Can anybody elaborate on gay literature from PRC? Anything officially published? Have you read anything by Cui Zi`en?

Gay themes in May 4th literature?

Thanks heaps

Who is Cui Zi'en? Anyway, newspaper stalls in Beijing do sell a glossy magazine that looks like it is designed to be read by homosexual men - lots of pictures of scantily clad men. But I can't remember the name.

The more famous one was Beijing Gushi (a novel on the internet), I think it was written by an anonymous lady resided in America or what. 蓝宇 Lanyu (a movie) was based on this novel.

This is from the ROC but it still may meet your needs. The authors name is Chu T'ienwen and the books name is Notes of a Desolate Man and it is available with an english translation (assuming you don't read Chinese). Good book and I highly recommend it.

How about 霸王別姬? It was written by HK author Lilian Lee, though.

And 紙婚 written by 陳若曦? But that is not from the mainland either ...

There is a book published recently named 同性恋亚文化.
