The closet is explored at each stage-entering it, inhabiting it, and coming out of it-and strategies are offered for reframing difficult closet experiences. Adams makes use of interviews, personal narratives, and autoethnography to analyze lived, relational experiences of sexuality. This is a must have for scholars and students of gender studies, qualitative research, and for any reader who has felt the closet's reach. 410 0$aWriting lives--ethnographic narratives. 606 $aMale homosexuality 606 $aGay couples 606 $aEthnology$xAuthorship 615 0$aMale homosexuality. 615 0$aGay couples. 615 0$aEthnology$xAuthorship. 676 $a306.76/6 700 $aAdams$b Tony E.$01464439 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781258303321 996 $aNarrating the closet$93674068 997 $aUNINA
