The Break

About this title

In his book “The Queen’s Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire,” Wayne Koestenbaum examines voice as a site of transgression and inherent queerness. He looks to physicality, sound and ideology to expose the different ways in which the voice acts as a marker of identity, both in building a solid gendered identity as well as having the possibility to completely dismantle notions of gender.
