Considering the crucial though neglected relationship between sibling love and queer desire from Herman Melville to the cinema of the 1990s and from Henry James to Jamaica Kincaid, Denis Flannery argues for the literal and figurative centrality of fraternal and sororal bonds to queer strands of American literature and culture. His book is an important contribution to queer theory; to American studies; and to the study of culture, writing and affect.
