This text explores a set of works from modern French literature that are interested in same-sex sexualities, but versions of those sexualities that fail to correspond to mainstream gay and lesbian identities in a variety of different ways that can be difficult to notice or talk about. The work's seven chapters trace the introduction of the topic of non-mainstream or misfit sexualities into the French literary field.
