Well yee-ha! I’ll be bringing my guerilla “history of Japanese literature” panel to Flamecon 2, New York’s queerest comic event, which will be held in Brooklyn, New York on August 20-21.
The Secret History of Yaoi and Yuri
Saturday August 20, Room C
This’ll give me a chance to talk to an LGBTQ crowd about Japanese queer media, and give folks a chance to see the evolution of Yuri and BL through their literary and artistic roots.
It will also give me a chance to do a lecture suffering from jet lag once again. ^_^; Boy I really time these panels well.
I’m going to have a few books to give away as good question prizes and I hope to see you all there!
What would be the Yaoi equivlant of Yaneura no Nishojo, by Yoshiya Nobuko?
According to JRBrown’s article, 1000 years of Pretty Boys, “Ogai Mori’s semiautobiographical 1909 novel Vita Sexualis” is analogous.
Cool, thank you.
