Mis padres no lo saben
by Marce Rodríguez Mariola CubellsLos gays y lesbianas españoles opinan abiertamente sobre sus inquietudes, problemas e incomprensiones. Cuando se cumplen cuatro años de la aprobación de la ley del matrimonio homosexual, el presente libro recoge distintas voces de homosexuales que reflexionan sobre su situación actual.

El remitente misterioso y otros relatos inéditos
by Marcel ProustPROUST INÉDITO. «Un festín para los fans proustianos.»Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia Estos ocho relatos excepcionales de un joven Marcel Proust han permanecido inéditos durante más de un siglo. Probablemente fueron víctimas de su propia censura, ya que la mayoría ponen en escena el deseo homosexual —un tema que ronda su obra maestra, En busca del tiempo perdido— con excesiva osadía. Compilados en la década de 1950 por Bernard de Fallois, el mítico editor de Marcel Pagnol y Joël Dicker, y autor del ensayo Proust antes de Proust, que dedicó gran parte de su vida al estudio de la obra del escritor, estos cuentos suscitan múltiples lecturas. Como dice Alan Pauls en su prólogo: «Es esa hipersensibilidad hacia lo maleable, y la voluntad de seguirle la pista, siempre, no importa adónde nos lleve, la razón por la que estos relatos [...] nos capturan: leemos a Proust porque es nuestro contemporáneo». La crítica ha dicho...«Proust sale del armario con ocho cuentos inéditos. [...] Es el gran acontecimiento de la rentrée. Son textos [...] con el inconfundible aroma decadente y sensual del crepúsculo del siglo XIX. Hay relatos policiacos, al estilo de Edgar Allan Poe, y uno que no desentonaría en una antología del género fantástico. En la manera de captar los movimientos del alma humana o en los esbozos de escenas y personajes se adivina el genio en estado de incubación.»Marc Bassets, Babelia «Sucede con la obra de Proust algo difícil de explicar. Algunos momentos sublimes alcanzan una condición de vigilia en la que uno puede estar dispuesto a confundir su existencia con aquello que le cuentan mientras las palabras lo rodean. Es la suerte de un estilo que halló su fulgor en el relato del esplendor decadente. Ese esplendor adherido al daño de mantenerse deseando en secreto.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Fino, elegante, meticuloso.»Carmen Rigalt, El Español «Sin duda la publicación de estos inéditos copará la atención de la rentrée literaria.»Público «Un acontecimiento editorial de enorme dimensión. [...] Estas páginas no tienen la perfección de la madurez, sin embargo nos ayudan a comprender mejor la gran obra en la que ya pensaba Proust. El lector sabe que se encuentra ante las primeras manifestaciones de su genio [y] podrá apreciar el suspenso de las situaciones, el misterio que se esconde detrás de los personajes, la tristeza o el placer que transmiten la anécdota contada. La vibración vital que fluye de sus textos, su transparencia y su ingenio.»Javier García Recio, La Opinión de Málaga «Nadie podía imaginar que casi un siglo después de muerto, el escritor francés, ese que parecía haberlo dicho todo, pudiera sorprendernos de nuevo. [...] Pudoroso ycabal, prefirió olvidar [esos relatos] en pro de su fortuna. Hoy tienen el encanto de mostrarnos a Proust antes de Proust.»Pilar Manzanares, Esquire «En el bucle del pasado, más allá de las magdalenas, es donde aflora la escritura confesional de Marcel Proust. [...] Exploración, intimidad, excepcionalidad, una isla custodiada por su propia privacidad amenazada. Dentro de la labor de Proust, que abarca treinta años de historia francesa, los relatos contienen su coqueteo con géneros en los que nunca volvió a adentrarse, caso del cuento fantástico o la intriga policiaca. Son, sobre todo, los pasos neófitos de un autor que siempre buscó la perfección.»Guillermo Balbona, El Diario Montañés - Sotileza «Cien años después de su Premio Goncourt, el autor de En busca del tiempo perdido vuelve más fuerte que nunca. Proust es la verdadera estrella de la rentrée literaria.»Michel Schneider, Le Point «¡Una

It describes the work of the major contributors, early and recent, and gives a terrific overview of the rich and radical development of feminist therapy from a variety of perspectives.The Foundation and Future of Feminist Therapy honors the work of women such as Laura Brown, Iris Fodor, Miriam Greenspan, Hannah Lerman, and Lenore Walker, who developed, and who continue to develop, feminist therapy theory and practice.

"No One Helped": Kitty Genovese, New York City, and the Myth of Urban Apathy
by Marcia M. GalloIn "No One Helped" Marcia M. Gallo examines one of America's most infamous true-crime stories: the 1964 rape and murder of Catherine "Kitty" Genovese in a middle-class neighborhood of Queens, New York. Front-page reports in the New York Times incorrectly identified thirty-eight indifferent witnesses to the crime, fueling fears of apathy and urban decay. Genovese's life, including her lesbian relationship, also was obscured in media accounts of the crime. Fifty years later, the story of Kitty Genovese continues to circulate in popular culture. Although it is now widely known that there were far fewer actual witnesses to the crime than was reported in 1964, the moral of the story continues to be urban apathy. "No One Helped" traces the Genovese story's development and resilience while challenging the myth it created. "No One Helped" places the conscious creation and promotion of the Genovese story within a changing urban environment. Gallo reviews New York's shifting racial and economic demographics and explores post-World War II examinations of conscience regarding the horrors of Nazism. These were important factors in the uncritical acceptance of the story by most media, political leaders, and the public despite repeated protests from Genovese's Kew Gardens neighbors at their inaccurate portrayal. The crime led to advances in criminal justice and psychology, such as the development of the 911 emergency system and numerous studies of bystander behaviors. Gallo emphasizes that the response to the crime also led to increased community organizing as well as feminist campaigns against sexual violence. Even though the particulars of the sad story of her death were distorted, Kitty Genovese left an enduring legacy of positive changes to the urban environment.
A Summer's Tale
by Marcia S. Andrews"This novel poses all the hard questions people try to avoid asking when they are in love, or trying to be in love, or trying not to. And it rejects the easy emotional and political answers whether offered by the lesbian community or the extended family, for a fair and hard-won conclusion. An intent and insightful work."--Jane Rule.
Sexuality and the Catholic Priesthood: The 'Chaste' Caste (Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Religion)
by Marco MarzanoBased on interviews with Roman Catholic seminarians, priests and former priests, as well as with managers of seminaries, teaching staff, psychologists and psychiatrists, this book considers the lives of the clergy, beginning with the period before entering the seminary. With attention to both heterosexual and homosexual relationships – and so addressing the tension that exists between Catholic teaching and the reality of clerical lives – this wide-ranging description of seminary life encompasses many issues which are not strictly sexual or emotional, such as time organisation, the importance of study, hierarchical relations and friendship. Showing that the lives of seminarians – and later, priests – are absorbed in balancing the expectations of their role with their need for an emotional life and with maintaining an independent, free inner self, with the result that celibacy can come to be viewed as a pretence to be upheld scrupulously in the public sphere only, Sexuality and the Catholic Priesthood: The 'Chaste' Caste will appeal to scholars of sociology and religious studies with interests in gender and sexuality, the Catholic Church and priestly vocations.

In Theory, Darling: Searching for José Esteban Muñoz and the Queer Imagination
by Marcos GonsalezA love letter to queer of color theory and how it has helped the author to discover himself, reclaim identities, celebrate queer joy, and work towards liberationMarcos Gonsalez found his greatest source of joy when he encountered queer theory in college. As they put it, "queers and college go together like peanut butter and jelly," and for them, this was especially true. Seeing himself reflected in the work José Esteban Muñoz was life-changing: Muñoz's theory of disidentification empowered Gonsalez to reclaim their Latinx and queer identities--and inspired him to push back against the largely-white monolith of queer theory.In the sophisticated yet intimately disarming prose of In Theory, Darling, Gonsalez takes his copy of Disidentifications to the gay bar, to the classroom, to their childhome and beyond, inviting us to go along with him as he limns the queerness of reality TV, mourns the victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre, searches for their uncle in Paris Is Burning, looks for Muñoz's legacy in the streets of New York, and situates themself in the lineage of the queer elders who have come before him.Conversational yet deeply analytical, intimate yet wide-ranging, youthful yet sophisticated, Gonsalez's essays crackle with intellectual energy--and remind us just how life-giving theory can be.

Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path
by Marcus McCannAn intimate look at one of culture’s most enduring taboos: public sex. Park Cruising takes a long look at the men who cruise for sex in urban parks. Human rights lawyer Marcus McCann uses park cruising as a point of departure for discussions of consent, empathy, public health, municipal planning, and our relationship to strangers. Prompted by his work opposing a police sting in a suburban park, McCann’s ruminations go beyond targeted enforcement and police indifference to violence to examine cruising as a type of world-building. The result is a series of insightful and poetic walks through history, law, literature, and popular representations of cruising in search of the social value of sex. What McCann ultimately reveals is a world of connection, care, and unexpected lessons about the value of pleasure.
