I was hoping some of you intelligent folks could direct me to or reccommend any novels, short stories, memoirs or personal essays dealing with the experiences of both QUILTBAG people of color and/or QUILTBAG people from outside the U.S.

ETA: Or (did I forget this was a forum, where interaction takes place?) please share your own too :D

Before Night Falls: Autobiography of Cuban gay writer and poet Reinaldo Arenas.

Kiss of the Spider Woman: A novel about the relationship of two Latin American prisoners, one locked for a political crime and the other for a sexual crime, and how they bond on ther status of outsiders.

There's a YA book called Street Dreams, by Tama Wise, the story of a queer Maori in New Zealand. Being queer and Maori is the central conflict.

Thank you, huzzah! Of course there was already a thread on it. My poor to-read list, it was so long already...
