Cover of As If!: Queer Criticism Across Difference by Chase Gregory. The design mimics a yellow plaid spiral notebook against a bright red background. The title “As If!” appears in bold white letters on a black oval that resembles a sticker. A strip of green tape below reads “Queer Criticism Across Difference” in black capital letters. The author’s name is displayed on a piece of black tape.
"As If!" by Chase Gregory explores the stylistically strategic, often campy, and productively fraught cross-identifications of early queer criticism. Read the introduction for free on our website! #LiteraryTheory #LGBTQBooks
