JT HOW GAY IS "DEATH VENICE"?
A homoerotic "master text" or a cryptic parable of art, arrogance and self-ceptn? This is a book about Italy wrten by a German, a book about homosexual love wrten by a married man who fathered six children, a book about a man who bas himself and embrac his own ath wrten by a man who lived to age 80 as the very embodiment of bourgeois lerary rpectabily. There n be no qutn, however, that "Death Venice" is a book about homosexual passn -- the ey of some gay lerary scholars and queer-studi theorists, has virtually bee the book about homosexual passn -- and that fact has affected s receptn all along.
Gay rears were unrstandably enraged by scholarly efforts to atheticize the queerns out of "Death Venice, " and the post-Stonewall amic revolutn has produced a valuable rrective.
