Library pink angle

Located at the intersection of history and literature, the book series "Bibliothek rosa Winkel" gathers testimonies of the most varied literary kind, in which the attitude towards life, the self and external assessment of sodomites , Urningen , homosexuals and gays in the different countries and epochs are expressed or social Realities and utopias are reflected. Whether it is new editions of old texts, texts that have been translated for the first time or those that have been published for the first time, all volumes must be provided with as comprehensive information as possible about the authors and the meaning and impact of the texts.

history

For the Frankfurt Book Fair in 1991, the publisher rosa Winkel (Berlin) launched the “Rosa Winkel library”. The suggestion came from Wolfram Setz , who is still in charge of the series to this day. In terms of publishing, the series is now part of the Männerschwarm Verlag (Hamburg) after the rosa Winkel publisher ceased its activities at the beginning of the new century. By the end of 2019 there were 76 volumes (there are also 7 volumes of the "Special Series: Science" started in 2002).

Authors and works

The core of the library are fundamental works on the history of gay emancipation: Karl Heinrich Ulrichs 'research on the riddle of male love, Heinrich Hössli ' s Eros. The love of men among the Greeks or Karl Maria Kertbeny's writings on homosexuality research. In particular, the Ulrichs edition commented on by Hubert Kennedy gave research a new boost, documented in the library by the essay by Volkmar Sigusch on Ulrichs as "The first gay in world history", as well as the greatly expanded new edition of Hubert Kennedy's biography of Ulrichs ( which could soon be supplemented by new finds and studies), an Ulrichs reading book and a series of lectures on Ulrichs' symbolic 175th birthday in 2000.

With a wide range of topics, non-fiction books deal with the Eulenburg affair and the silent film “ Anders als die Andern ”, with the magazine Der Kreis , with the subject of pedophilia in public discourse or with the experiences of homosexuals in the GDR . Comprehensive biographical investigations apply not only to Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, but also to Magnus Hirschfeld and John Henry Mackay , Federico García Lorca and Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen .

Unadulterated testimonies of their time are, for example, the life story of a young Italian nobleman from the 1880s (The Novel of a Contrary Sexual) or the psychological self-confessions of the Swedish philosopher Pontus Wikner . Some literary texts are closely linked to the biography of their author: Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen's novel Lord Lyllian, Xavier Maynes ( Edward Irenaeus Prime-Stevenson's ) “psychological romance” Imre or the novel Ephebos by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski , of which only that central chapter ("The Banquet") has been preserved. To Adolf Brand , the founder of the "Association of Self" his seven Wegwalt-prints from 1913-14 and his anthology remember with friendship stories: Poor boy!

In the “novel corner” of the library, the French department with Georges Eekhouds Escal-Vigor, Achille Essebacs Dedé and Binet-Valmers Lucien documents the close contact between the two countries at the beginning of the 20th century. The novel Fridolin's secret marriage by Adolf Wilbrandt , published in Ulrichs's time , the novel Anders als die Andern by Bill Forster ( Hermann Breuer ), who mainly continued to work with his title, the novel Soul Migration by Jules Siber , who already The three novels that the Baltic Guido Hermann Eckardt published under the pseudonym Fritz Geron Pernauhm between 1900 and 1906 were considered lost, and a few more.
