The Fruit Machine: Twenty Years of Writings on Queer Cinema

"This is an enthralling book about a topic at once life-affectingly important and extraordinarily complex: how gay people-or anyone else-are seen and see themselves and how the movies help shape that. Tom Waugh shows us in exemplary fashion that you can combine personal passion and political engagement with the highest standards of intellectual discipline, while taking us on a delicious trip through the vagaries of queer film images."-Richard Dyer, University of WarwickThomas Waugh is the author of 'The Fruit Machine: Twenty Years of Writings on Queer Cinema', published 2000 under ISBN 9780822324331 and ISBN 0822324334.
