[MODERN LITERATURE] Tuller, David

Cracks in the Iron Closet. Travels in Gay and Lesbian Russia

University of Chicago press, 1996.

Binding: Paperback

David Tuller provides the first look into the emotional and sexual lives of Russian lesbians and gays and the pervasive influence of the state on gay life. Part travelogue, part social history, and part journalistic inquiry, the book challenges our assumptions about what it means to be gay. The book also explores key issues in Russia and Soviet life, including concepts of friendship, community, gender, love, fate, and the relationship between the public and private spheres.
