10 Underrated Queer Books That Everyone Should Read

"Every reader has a list of should-be-classics: works that speak to them but haven't quite penetrated the wider canon. Often a novel or memoir or poetry collection is released to much fanfare but forgotten within a year, overshadowed by shinier bestsellers. In the (admittedly wide) field of queer literature in particular, so many tastemakers and gatekeepers favor particular experiences (white, affluent, cis, male, tragic, sexual) that books outside of those parameters are often enjoyed only by those who know where to look. The 10 books detailed below fall just outside of dominant queer lit circles, and they illuminate a range of experiences and imaginations beyond our most commonly told stories."
