McSweeney's Issue 62: The Queer Fiction Issue by

3.0

2.5/5. There were a few stories I liked, and quite a few I didn’t, and some that had such jarringly misplaced metaphors that I couldn’t tell whether I actually enjoyed the story or not. But for me the bigger problem was that in 280-some pages of queer stories, not a single person or relationship is happy and healthy. Why can this volume of queer fiction imagine all kinds of magic, but not queer people who aren’t self-destructive or miserable or somehow abused by their partners?
