![]() This list samples some of the most exciting new work in queer fiction, as well as forgotten classics. Recommended Reading is the weekly fiction magazine of Electric Literature, where we present short stories and novel excerpts every Wednesday, each with an original introduction. The earliest work is from 1940, the most recent is from April 2019. Not all of the stories are about queer relationships or characters. There are ends and beginnings of committed relationships, reliable and fraught friendships, painful affairs, and pleasant ones. ![]() These stories present a diverse cross-section of queer lives: an intersex woman who survived the bombing of Hiroshima, a black man in Nigeria who one day wakes up white, a man getting gender-confirmation surgery in Canada, a young girl in Brazil who learns, for the first time, a word that describes the way she feels. For pride month, we’re rounding up some of our favorite stories and novel excerpts by and about queer people from the Recommended Reading archives.
