The B Word wins Lambda Literary Award

Congratulations to Maria San Filippo, whose book The B Word has won a Lambda Literary Award in the Bisexual Nonfiction category! The winners were announced last week during a ceremony held in New York City.

The Lambda Literary Awards identify and honor the best lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender books. For more information, visit the awards website.

Often disguised in public discourse by terms like "gay," "homoerotic," "homosocial," or "queer," bisexuality is strangely absent from queer studies and virtually untreated in film and media criticism. In The B Word, Maria San Filippo explores the central role bisexuality plays in contemporary screen culture, establishing its importance in representation, marketing, and spectatorship.
