Schimel Lawrence
Vacation in Ibiza
DescriptionIbiza: A beautiful island in the Mediterranean that every summer is transformed into a gay paradise, drawing tens of thousands of handsome young gay men from all over the world. The beaches, the discos, even the streets themselves all become a sunny, sensual playground where all is permitted and nothing is forbidden. Award-winning author Lawrence Schimel teams up with award-winning Catalan artist Sebas to create this fun, sexy graphic novel about best friends Marek and Bernd. It's Marek's first time on Ibiza, whereas Bernd has been coming for years and knows all the ins and outs of the island. While traveling together, each takes a different path. Bernd sleeps his way across the globe, having sex each night -or day-with a boy from a different country. Marek on the other hand finds himself in an ongoing liaison with a local boy he meets after a few days. But what neither of these best friends tells the other is that they're secretly jealous of the affairs the other has: Marek feels he's missing out on the true Ibiza experience of promiscuous fun, whereas Bernd -while enjoying all the sex- misses the intimacy of a serious relationship.

PoMoSexuals: Challenging Assumptions About Gender and Sexuality
DescriptionPoMoSexuals dishes up an all-star cast of articulate, witty gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered authors - all of whom want to explode your assumptions about sexuality : Pat Califia, Dorothy Allison, Laura Antoniou, Jill Nagle, Ricki Anne Wilchins, Michael Thomas Ford, Scott O'Hara, Marco Vassi, Carol Queen, John Weir, D. Travers Scott, Greta Christina.We live in a complicated world, and according to PoMoSexuals, it is a lot more complicated than we thought. Now that society has become accustomed to the idea that gay men and lesbians exist, Lawrence Schimel and Carol Queen have brought together 15 essays dedicated to demolishing those categories. They are not, of course, arguing that homosexuals don't exist, but simply that these categories and words cannot do justice to the wondrous complexity of human sexuality. In PoMoSexuals you can read about heterosexual women who identify as gay men, the politics of placing a transgendered personal ad, and how trendy gay male ghetto culture is less about sexual liberation than brand-name accumulation. No matter what your sexual identity is, PoMoSexuals will startle and enlighten, provoke and entertain.

First Person Queer: Who We Are (So Far)
DescriptionIn this amazing, wide-ranging anthology of nonfiction essays, contributors write intimate and honest first-person accounts of queer experience, from coming out to “passing” as straight to growing old to living proud. These are the stories of contemporary gay and lesbian life—and by definition, are funny, sad, hopeful, and truthful. Representing a diversity of genders, ages, races, and orientations, and edited by two acclaimed writers and anthologists (who between them have written or edited almost one hundred books), First Person Queer puts the “personal” back into “queer.” Schimel Lawrence News![]()
