2003The work of writer Philip Gambone helps move fiction about gays out from under the limiting rubric of gay literature. It examines relationships, AIDS, political correctness, and other relevant subjects from the perspective of gay men in their thirties. As with all good writing, these stories focus on the particular as a way to explore the universal.
As an editor and interviewer, Gambone also explores the many facets of being a gay writer in his collection of interviews, Something Inside: Conversations with Gay Fiction Writers. In the book, Gambone provides an interesting, if not entirely comprehensive, overview of the field of gay literature over the past twenty years, showing how it has changed and hinting at where it might be heading.
Philip Gambone is a member of Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Essayists and Novelists association.
Gambone is an amiable interviewer. Gambone’s interview style often moves the writers in directions other interviewers might overlook.
