Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"According to Didier Eribon,
melancholy
is where it all starts and where it also ends: the lifelong process of mourning that each homosexual experiences, and through which they construct their own identity. In this beguiling book, an introverted, anxious, ambitious, artistically gifted
queer
Filipino-Canadian boy finds solace, inspiration, and a "syllabus for living" in art--works of literature and music, from the children's literary classic Anne of Green Gables to the music of Maria Callas. But their contribution to his intellectual, emotional, and spiritual edification belies the fact that they were largely heteronormative and white, which had the effect of invisibilizing him as a
queer
person of colour. Part memoir, part cultural commentary, and a hybrid of besotted aesthetic appreciation and unsparing critique,
Double
Melancholy
is by turns a passionate love letter to
art
and an embattled examination of its oppressive complicity with the society that produces it, and the depths to which
art
both enriches and colonizes us."--From publisher.
