Exploring How Gertrude Stein and Truman Capote became mass-market celebrities while other gay public figures were censored, Jeff Solomon traces the construction and impact of their public personae from a gay-affirmative perspective. He situates archival material historically to explain how the two writers expressed homosexuality and negotiated homophobia through the fleeting depiction of what could not be directly written.
