Summary: This collection of essays illuminates the intersection of queer and adaptation. Both adaptation and queerness suffer from the stereotype of being secondary: to identify something as an adaptation is to recognize it in relation to something else that seems more original, more authentic. Similarly, to identify something as queer is to place it in relation to what is assumed to be 'normal' or 'straight.' This ground-breaking volume brings together 15 original essays that critically challenge these assumptions about originality, authenticity, and value.
