Summary:

"Using the works of writers such as Monique Truong, Carol Rifka Brunt, Mia McKenzie, and Alison Bechdel, argues that a queer narratology grounded in the senses is integral to conceptions of queer time, as placing the senses in time allows writers to narrate what otherwise seems to be non-narrativizable, opening new perspectives onto queer history, futurity, and relationality through the summoning of queer bodily experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
