The Culture of Desire by Frank Browning
Is there such a thing as an American gay culture--a set of styles, values, and behaviors that arises not from ethnicity or religion but from sexual orientation? How is that culture transmitted? And how is it likely to survive the depradations of homophobia and AIDS? These questions are explored by Browning, a reporter for NPR.
Frank Browning reports from Paris on cultural issues for National Public Radio and writes for numerous magazines on science, history, and society. He is the author of five books, including Apples: Story of the Fruit of Temptation, which won the 1999 IACP Julia Child Award for best food writing. His articles and essays have appeared in the Washington Post, the International Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, Gourmet, and Playboy, among others. Sharon Silva, coauthor of The San Francisco Cliff House, is an editor and writer specializing in cookbooks and culinary history. She lives in San Francisco, where her backyard harbors a Meyer lemon tree and a Mission fig, but no apple tree.
