Outsiders

15 funny gay stories

Edición de la obra Outsiders

I was familiar with Sherwin Carlquist's scientific production, which I find to be very clearly written and approachable despite it being catered to technical audiences. In this collection of short stories, I was completely amazed to find Dr. Carlquist's prose is even more entertaining and captivating than you would expect from a scientist. As a trans non-binary person who lived many years as a gay man, and as someone who has studied Dr. Carlquist's work for their own research, I feel that this book provided me with a very inspiring perspective of the man behind the science: someone unabashedly queer who wanted to tell uplifting queer stories so that future generations of gay men could imagine themselves living fulfilling lives.
