Lamyos: New LGBTQ Fiction from the Philippines by Various Authors

Written in three Philippine languages by a variety of young Filipino authors from across the archipelago, the twelve stories in Lamyos: New LGBTQ Fiction from the Philippinesseek not only to present a variety of sexually dissident, gender-nonconformist, and/or queer subjectivities but also to problematize heteronormative gender and sexuality— and their privileging of het-conjugal and cisgendered sexual bonds—as well as the appropriations of these and all other “global” forms of desire in our country, where they can only exist as syncretisms of local and translocal conceptions.
