O knihe

The Rainbow Cantos is a collection of two works queering western canon, featuring Kiss Me, Ahab and Gayowulf. Kiss Me, Ahab: There's mischief afoot at Sargasso State College. Alcibiades loves Ahab, but Ahab is--gasp!--straight!? What's to be done but turn to Oberon, King of the Fairies, for aid? Featuring a man-eating Lolita, lecherous professors, vampires beneath the campus, and over 400 footnotes that flip the canon on its head, this is a queer-coming of cage novella-in-verse that shakes the ivory gates of old-school academia. Gayowulf: A queer re-imagining of one of the oldest bits of the Western canon, the epic of Gayowulf unfolds with his prophesized birth and follows our intrepid hero through his fated confrontation with a devastatingly beautiful Grendel, then worse, his Mommy, all the way to the outskirts of Tokyo, where he faces off against a coke-snorting Kimono Dragon. Praise for The Rainbow Cantos: "G.R. Tomaini's The Rainbow Cantos is a wild and exuberant romp through the annals of literature from the distant to the recent past, where characters and stories from classics are brought out of the shadows of history and queered in the light of this new sun." -Christopher Barzak, author of the Stonewall Honor winning novel, Wonders of the Invisible World
