crl-25883	Schlect, Walter	Steven Ruszczycky. Vulgar Genres. Chicago, IL: The University of Chicago Press, 2021. 207p. Paper, $30 (ISBN: 978-0-226-78875-3).	2023	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1194	49	47	The author convincingly argues that the literary gay fiction that blossomed after US obscenity laws were successively struck down be- tween 1957 and 1966 had to contend with the concurrent proliferation of gay pornography, either by distancing itself from pornography’s crassness, or by freely incorporating explicit pornographic tropes and fantasies to serve their narrative ends. In the digital age, texts that prove crucial to queer self-formation include not just commercially published literature or narrative pornography but everything “from story archives and self-published pornographic novels to promotional materials cre- ated by performers, the erotically elaborate profile text of apps and cruising websites, and the narrative captions appended to pornographic images on micro-blogging platforms.”	cache/crl-25883.pdf	txt/crl-25883.txt
