Without exaggeration, I think we would be hard-pressed indeed to find a better gay-oriented Book Review site anywhere in my world, at least, which would be better than Speak Its Name.. I have to take a breath here to try and curb my enthusiasm for finding this literate and incisive contribution to serious gay literature because I not only find it refreshing and informed as to historical matters but also compassionate and insightful into analyzing and caring about all the human emotions experienced by gay men and women and their inner lives and histories. There is a human hand at work here which I so appreciate, made even more apparent by their responsiveness to postings in this blog. The reviewers answer questions and so obviously attempt to make themselves responsive to readers, it just reeks of a passion and dedication to their labors you have to admire. The authors of this excellent blog have a critical and penetrating insight into literature itself, not just gay work, which they bring most definitely to the fore. What is most utile in their efforts, however, is a near compendium of other reviews and a huge listing of novels dealing exclusively with the gay experience. As if their insight and well-worded reviews of some really terrific books was not enough, they cement this good feeling by their responsiveness to their readers.
