This
ground-breaking anthology features the compelling and courageous
memoirs of eighteen queer Arab writers – some internationally
bestselling, others using pseudonyms. Here, we find heart-warming
connections and moments of celebration alongside essays exploring the
challenges of being LGBTQ+ and Arab.
From a military base in the Gulf to loving whispers caught
between the bedsheets; and from touring overseas as a drag queen to
a concert in Cairo where the rainbow flag was raised to a crowd of
thousands, this collection celebrates the true colours of a vibrant
Arab queer experience.
