Autorenporträt
Dwight Cathcart has written four novels on queer issues: Ceremonies, Winter Rain, Race Point Light, and Adam in the Morning. All these novels tell the stories about LGBTQ people which are largely ignored today. He writes about homophobia before Stonewall-even today-and how that felt to LGBTQ people, and he writes about LGBTQ people fighting back. He shows the adult lives of his people as they go about living in a culture which threatens them with loss of all the gains of recent years and which bullies the youngest of them into suicide. His novels attempt to tell the stories of the full range of adult people at a full range of ages coping with a world which requires all their strength and all their intelligence to preserve their history and their freedom to feel and to live.
