Another innovative queer-themed book which uses postcolonial pomosexuality to good effect is Jane Bennett's luminous collection of short stories, Porcupine (2008).
In the introduction to their edited volume, PomoSexuals, Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel write: Pomosexuality lives in the space in which all other non-binary forms of sexual and gender identity reside--a boundary-free zone in which fences are crossed for the fun of it, or simply because some of us can't be fenced in.
