From "Youth and Beauty" to "Age and Decrepitude": Age, Ageing, and Ageism in American Gay Fiction
Original language description
The paper deals with the treatment of age-related issues in American gay literature, focusing on Christopher Isherwood?s A Single Man (1964) and Andrew Holleran?s Dancer from the Dance (1978) and The Beauty of Men (1996). Even though Holleran?s The Beauty of Men is inspired by A Single Man, there is a major difference between the two works: while the protagonist of Isherwood?s novel is isolated from other gay men, Holleran?s protagonists in many ways interact with gays of other generations. A line of mentor-protégé relationships can be identified in Dancer from the Dance, while the characters of The Beauty of Men replace the vertical line of relationships with a horizontal network of peers, losing some of the opportunities offered by intergenerationalinteraction.
