The Queen's Throat hardcover w/jacket like new first edition by Wayne Kostenbaum

Gay Literature/Music  - A passionate love letter to opera, an elegy for a vanished generation of its gay devotees, and a work that trimuphantly overturns our received notions of culture, sexuality, and personal style. It is a learned, moving, and often very funny work of cultural criticism, subversion, and homage.

Koestenbaum writes frequently for periodicals, including The New York Times Magazine, Parnassus: Poetry in Review, and the London Review of Books.
