Living Out: Gay & Lesbian Autobiography series from the University of Wisconsin Press

This series is dedicated to gay autobiography in all its varieties. Dedicated to expressing the full range of gay experience, the series recognizes that the autobiography is an essential gay form—a crucial way of reclaiming invisible lives, responding to silence, and encoding the collective gay experience.
