SUMMARY:Clintonville Books welcomes Arved Ashby
DESCRIPTION:Join Clintonville Books as they welcome Arved Ashby\\, author
  of My 1980s Gayboy Playlist.\\nIn this remarkably intimate book\\, music
  writer Arved Ashby reflects on the pieces that shaped his sexual and mus
 ical awakenings as a troubled\\, closeted gay adolescent in the rural Mid
 west.\\nMy 1980s Gayboy Playlist is less memoir than autotheory\\, writte
 n in a literary rather than scholarly style. Ashby reengages with eight m
 usical touchpoints — some old musical flames that still smolder — whi
 le drawing on ideas from Roland Barthes\\, Eve Sedgwick\\, Leo Bersani\\,
  Michael Warner\\, and other queer theorists.\\nFocusing on the decade of
  AIDS terror\\, Reaganomics\\, and the Moral Majority\\, Ashby explores q
 ueer desire as it moved messily yet secretively across different avenues 
 of expression\\, tracing connections between erotic experience and musica
 l fantasy.\\nArved Ashby is Emeritus Professor of Musicology at The Ohio 
 State University.\\nhttps://www.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/colum
