Description: A study of the queer child, using literary, psychoanalytic, and cultural theory.
Review Quotes: "I consider Kathryn Bond Stockton to be one of the most impressive and important queer critics in the academy today, and The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century only confirms that assessment. It is magnificent: the kind of book that defines the field and is returned to again and again, inspiring all sorts of thought and work for generations to come."--Michael Cobb, author of God Hates Fags: The Rhetorics of Religious Violence
