LGBT-related NYRB Classics
Our editor Edwin Frank was interviewed by Steven Cordova over at Lambda Literary, a site that highlights and celebrates LGBT literature. Below is a list of our fiction books that Mr. Codova picks out as having LGBT interest, though not necessarily written by an LGBT author. Edwin then adds Jan Morris’s Conundrum, Tove Jansson, and Henry de Motherlant’s Chaos and Night. And go here for the full interview:
