The Mythology Shelf Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend Dan Jones c/o Octopus Books www.octopusbooksusa.com 9781804190463, $19.99 https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Heroes-Myth-Legend-celebration/dp/1804190462 Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend: A Celebration of Gay Gods, Sapphic Saints, & Queerness Through the Ages will prove of special interest to libraries interested in lively discussions of queer heroes throughout time. This is achieved through fifty profiles accompanied by black and white illustrations that bring to the forefront thousands of years of myths, legends, and figures that come from historic and cultural icons. All this is presented in a lively, accessible format that lends to leisure reading and browsing as much as pursuit by those interested in historical facts. The result is a romp through history that returns the importance, impact, and presence of queer heroes to modern times.
