Editor Frank Wynne showcases a multicultural spectrum of LGBTQ+ writing throughout history, from personal diary entries to poetry and short stories, celebrating the breadth and tenacity of queer creativity.

Despite significant advances in the fight for equal rights, the LGBTQ+ community is still under attack across the globe.

Even as queerness is dismissed as a passing phase, the long history of LGBTQ+ writing from around the world proves that queer people today are far from alone.

In Queer: A Collection of LGBTQ Writing from Ancient Times to Yesterday, editor and translator Frank Wynne pieces together what he describes as a 'patchwork quilt' of queer writing.

The collection offers personal insights into sexuality, gender, and queer life as explored by writers around the world and shows the LGBTQ+ community's ability to survive throughout history.
