For many readers and scholars, James Baldwin occupies so central a place in black gay literary history that he has become a key representative for queer creative culture. James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination seeks to complicate this view by providing a sustained investigation of the queer implications of Baldwins writing while addressing the problematic appropriation of Baldwin as the standard-bearer of queer literary history and African American writing. Author Matt Brim argues that Baldwins queer imagination is highly complex and anything but obvious, that queerness emerges unevenly in Baldwins fiction, in ways that can be as restrictive as they are revelatory, and that his work exemplifies what the author terms an unqueer undercurrent present in queer creative thought. In demonstrating Baldwins ambiguity, Brim also provides a critique of queerness from within queer studies.
