** spoiler alert ** The first two volumes of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen had a pretty simple concept: Transplant the concept of a Superhero team to 19th century Britain using a literary pastiche of characters from that era. They were good comics, but not what I would call groundbreaking. The Black Dossier is a completely different animal. The framing story is moves the League timeline ahead to late 1950s, sometime after the fall of Big Brother's England. Two mysterious figures steal the "Black Dossier" which catalogs all known information about the various incarnations of The League. A gadget loving womanizing spy named "Jimmy" (James Bond) and a young woman named Emma Night (pre-marriage Emma Peel) are sent to track down the thieves and retrieve the Black Dossier. The framing story is not what makes this book so interesting though, its the contents of the Black Dossier itself which are sprinkled throughout the book. There is a Shakespearean "historical" play detailing the founding of the league by Prospero under the patronage of the faerie Queen Gloriana. A sequel to Fanny Hill detailing her sexual encounters with the Lilliputians. A Bertie Wooster and Jeeves story detailing their brush with Lovecraftian horror. Even an inset Tijuana Bible. What is truly amazing is that in each of these segments Moore apes the style of the original authors. The Shakespearean section is written in iambic pentameter and contains numerous instances of Shakespearean style humor. The Bertie Wooster section could be a Bertie Wooster and Jeeves short story... if it didn't contain Cthulhu. If I have one complaint about the book, it's that it is so densely packed with literary references that it is a difficult read. Not that its not worth it, but it reminds me a bit of what it is like to read Russian literature. I highly recommend reading it through while referencing the annotations at least once.

Gender advocacy has been a part of my system since I got inducted into the world of GABRIELA. We were partners with a group called Pro-Gay/LesboND so I was also pretty much exposed to homosexual stories of all types. When the movie Brokeback Mountain came out, pun intended, I heard too many times the comments Yuck and Eeew regarding the love scenes, especially that first encounter between Jack and Ennis. Maybe people still weren't used to homosexual or gay intimate scenes in mainstream movies, since here in the Philippines, gayness is more associated with humor than with sex. I didn't watch the movie, not because the feedback from my friends were offputting. I just wasn't able to watch. I did, however, find a copy of E. Annie Proulx's short story on which the movie was based. Brokeback Mountain is not a story about homosexuality. It's a story about two people who find themselves in an ordinary circumstance, with extraordinary consequences. It's a story about how people bond and become intimate, how relationships can last over years of silence, simply because feelings are that powerful. It's not about two men having sex. It's about two people developing a lifelong devotion and bond. This book actually made me a fan of E. Annie Proulx because she had a way of creating beautiful narratives out of ordinary people and the raw emotions that plague and/or bless them. In fact, I bought her novel The Shipping News and short story collection Heart Songs and Other Stories right after I read Brokeback.
