“Homonorm” is a collection of short stories that explores the gay male experience
and challenges gender expectations. Through an exploration of form and content, each
story serves to illuminate different issues in the gay community and in society. Where
one story explores the issue of youth obsession with magical realism, the other tells the
story of a gay artist’s sexual awakening and struggle with HIV and AIDS through a series
of still-life photographs. This eclectic collection serves to break the stereotype of gay
fiction and undo the gender norms for men through fantastical situations and a-typical
forms of fiction to underscore the idea that life and community are varied and so too
should be the representations of these two groups. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
