Just out of curiosity, how do Joseph Hansen, Dennis Cooper,
Jean Genet and William Burroughs fit into this? I'm not
saying they don't fit -- for instance, both Cooper and
Burroughs seem very macho to me -- I'm just wondering if
homosexuality makes a difference? I guess what I'm asking is
if this theory supports multiple attributes in a writer or if
s/he is defined by just one, in this argument's case
gender?
