southern decadence



southern decadence

“the grand narrative
of heterosexuality”
—richard d. morris,
body trouble: straight
men, queer theory &
the american novel

well, perhaps, there’s no—
discursive “outside” (foucault)
only parody?

only parodies—
undoing signifiers,
dishing tacky codes?

faulkner parody—
parodying fiction itself
his compson novels?

idiot benjy—
queer quentin & dalton ames
jason closet-case?

gay henry sutpen—
charles bon the beautiful
queer absalom boyz?


delta poetry—
parodying gay fiction
decadent detours?
