Texts that teachers at Texas Tech have been warned not to teach

Trying to support indie publishers and read more diverse fiction! I’m starting with the Booker Prize and hopefully adding more when I can. Add your recs in the comments!

I need to do research for a story I'm writing, so I'm collecting the relevant books I find here :) I will feature a range of fiction and non-fiction books about the real history and the fun imaginary worlds of queer western books. Suggestions always welcome!

p.s. there may be non-queer westerns or history of that era that make their way on here for research sake, but the goal is ultimately to bring more gay cowboys (gender neutral) into the world

the novels on this list explore the faultlines of the american west, lingering in its borderlands, refusing its colonial myths. some of them reimagine classic wild west fiction tropes, while others refuse the terms of the western altogether. title from lil nas x ofc :)

(I am not the book club admin, just a fan, and these are not all the books but I will add them all in soon, I promise)

I love historical fiction, but it's too easy to get stuck in WWII Europe or the US Civil War. These are just a few of my favorites set in different areas of the globe. I usually use the Historical Novel Society 's definition of a historical novel as my guide (events 50 years old or did not happen in the author's lifetime). I also include ones that cross genres.

Books with orange covers!
