A. D. Miller Reihenfolge der Bücher

Spektakel verantwortungsloser Lust – aufregend und bedrohlich: D. A. Millers Essays beleuchten, wie die heterosexuelle Identität untrennbar mit Figuren des Homosexuellen verbunden ist. Das schwule Kino wirft Licht auf eine weitgehend filmisch unsichtbare Welt. Filme wie William Friedkins Cruising (1980) verknüpfen die Darstellung des Homosexuellen mit dem Verbrechen, assoziieren schwules Begehren mit Gewalt und reflektieren die paranoide Angst des „normalen Mannes“, durch Kontakt mit Homosexuellen selbst homosexuell zu werden. Diese Ängste prägen bis heute das Kino. Erfolgsfilme wie Ang Lees Brokeback Mountain (2005) oder Luca Guadagninos Call Me by Your Name (2017) bieten kaum eine Verbesserung. Trotz ihrer subversiven Ehrlichkeit und intensiven Sinnlichkeit verkommen sie letztlich zum Trostfilm. Die Kritiken loben die Schönheit dieser Filme, doch unter der meisterhaften Oberfläche verbirgt sich ein süßlich-abgeschmackter, scheinliberaler Blick, der das homosexuelle Objekt nur akzeptiert, wenn es nicht wirklich gezeigt oder angeschaut wird. Millers Essays bieten eine andere Perspektive auf den schwulen Film und liefern eine eindringliche, subtile Kritik der Darstellung von Homosexualität im Kino.

A complex, contemporary political thriller from the bestselling author of Booker-shortlisted Snowdrops Twelve years ago, Simon Davey prevented a tragedy, and ruined his own life. Once a senior British diplomat in Kiev, he lost everything after a lurid scandal. Back in London, still struggling with the aftermath of his disgrace, he is travelling on the Tube when he sees her … Olesya is the woman Simon holds responsible for his downfall. He first met her on an icy night during the protests on Independence Square. Full of hope and idealism, Olesya could not know what a crucial role she would play in the dangerous times ahead, and in Simon’s fate. Or what compromises she would have to make to protect her family. When Simon decides to follow Olesya, he finds himself plunged back into the dramatic days which changed his life forever. Independence Square is a story of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times. It is a story about corruption and personal and political betrayals. It is a story about where, in the twenty-first century, power really lies. 'A tremendous novel - taut, compelling, reeking of authenticity. A.D. Miller writes with exemplary precision and sophistication. Independence Square is an unsparing examination of human beings caught up in historical forces they can barely comprehend.' William Boyd
