GayKitschCamp

Who would have thought that the GayKitschCamp association, founded by Patrick Cardon in Aix-en-Provence in 1987 as a distributor of little-known LGBT texts, would turn into a full-fledged publishing house? In 1989, to celebrate the bicentenary of the French Revolution, it unearthed a pamphlet from 1791, Les Enfans de Sodome à l’Assemblée Nationale, thus inaugurating its publishing adventure devoted to the republication of historical texts and documents. This year will see the sequel to Épingle de femme sous le bonnet viril: Chronique d’un chevaleresque amour (17th century), edited by Pierrick Rivet, and Tu seras seul (1936) by Alain Rox, edited by Jean-Marc Barféty, who is continuing his studies on the history of LGBT Paris. Also on view will be La Couronne de pines, an unpublished pornographic work by François-Paul Alibert (1934).
