GayKitschCamp is a micro-publishing house dedicated to texts on queer literary history. In 1989, to celebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution, it unearthed a 1791 pamphlet, Les Enfans de Sodome à l’Assemblée Nationale. In 2022, Nicole Greta Albert and Patrick Cardon reissued Akademos (1909), the first French magazine on homosexual subculture. This year saw the release of Épingle de femme sous le bonnet viril (17th-century Chinese), edited by Pierrick Rivet, and Tu seras seul. Mémoires d’un homosexuel de la Belle Époque aux Années Folles (1936), by Alain Rox and edited by Jean-Marc Barféty, which received the Gay Novel Prize Best Reprint. Jean-Marc Barféty presents his latest find, La Couronne de Pines by François-Paul Alibert (circa 1934), to which Guillaume Lecaplain devoted two pages in Libération.
