By readg agast the gra of a wi variety of novels, short stori, tobgraphi, newspaper articl, and films, Bejel maps out a fascatg argument about the way which different attus toward power and natnalism stggle for an thorative stance on homosexual issu. Through close readgs of wrers such as José Martí, Alfonso Hernánz-Catá, Carlos Montenegro, José Lezama Lima, Leonardo Padura Fuent, and Realdo Arenas, whose heartbreakg tobgraphy, Before Night Falls, has enjoyed renewed populary, Gay Cuban Natn shows that the tegory of homosexualy is always lurkg, ghostlike, the shadows of natnalist disurse.
