Deep Gossip
Henry Abelove
Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2003.
“Freud, Male Homosexuality, and the Americans” is the first chapter of Henry Abelove’s book Deep Gossip. Abelove deftly recasts in a more nuanced and highly positive light the generally progressive views of Sigmund Freud on homosexuality, views subsequently distorted and rejected by American psychoanalysts, however, not long after Freud’s death.
