Two-Timing Modernity

Homosocial Narrative in Modern Japanese Fiction

J. Keith Vincent

2012

Two-Timing Modernity integrates queer, feminist, and narratological approaches to show how key works by Japanese male authors in the early twentieth century encompassed both a straight future and a queer past by staging tensions between Japan's newly heteronormative culture and the recent memory of a male homosocial past now read as perverse.
