MARY

Mary proudly presents “The Brilliant Quentin Crisp”

After the publication of his book, The Naked Civil Servant, in 1968 QUENTIN CRISP was approached by documentary maker Denis Mitchell to be the subject of a short film in which he was to talk about his life and voice his opinions - which he did, brilliantly.

Mary, a literary magazine published quarterly, is currently seeking submissions for both our print publication. Submissions are welcomed in prose, poetry, or essay format. We are eclectic and amenable to diverse styles and genres, but we prefer work that offers lyrical and inspired takes on the gay/queer/ homophile “way of life.” We at Mary understand that tales involving the “gay lifestyle” ranges from the staunchly conservative, to the staunchly liberal; from those that are somber, to those that revel in camp; from that of the highbrow, to that of the very, very, very low. ; from that of the highbrow, to that of the very, very, very low. We welcome all. Mary’s mission is to emphasize aesthetics, not social or political affiliations. To quote Oscar Wilde, our patron saint, “There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.”

Submissions should not be any longer than 5,000 words, and can be submitted electronically at maryliterary@gmail.com
