Description

The anthology “Boys Get Out of Control” is dedicated to the gay issue and gay emancipation as described in Belarusian fiction.

The book demonstrates how the Belarusian language (which itself has long been “oppressed”) is ideally suited for describing the experiences of other marginalized groups.

What has happened and is happening at the intersection of literature and homosexuality? What happens when literature describes the experience of “others”? Why is Belarusian literature strong in describing war and nature, yet remains somewhat helpless and sterile in describing physicality, sexuality, and intimacy? Does Belarusian gay or queer literature exist?

This book is a ready-made foundation for discussions on how our society is changing.
