The International Homosexual Conspiracy
by Larry-bob RobertsPublished by Manic D Press, September 1, 2010. In this series of cultural polemics on an unexpected array of contemporary topics — from mistaken first impressions ("Presumed Hetero Unless Proven Gay") to sustainable yet unaffordable pants ("Socially Responsible Pants") to critiques of bourgeois mindsets ("Middle Class Writer") — author Larry-bob Roberts offers hilarious insight into the absurdities of modern life and queer culture. His humorous observations are destined to jostle readers' complacency and confirm their worst suspicions. Visit IndieBound to find an independent bookstore near you to buy it from or from Powells. Cover art by Danyol.
