In The Shadowgraph James Cihlar explores the ways images, performances, and memories shape and inform LGBTQ identity. Golden-age Hollywood cinema - in particular the career of fiercely independent actress Barbara Stanwyck - provides the screen on which Cihlar projects characters and stories bravely, even defiantly, performed. Cihlar's commentary on individual films - as well as on human experience and desire - is intense, smart, and right on target.
James Cihlar is the publisher of Howling Bird Press. He is also the author of Rancho Nostalgia and Undoing.
Jim Cihlar's The Shadowgraph presents a love song to the ways a person desperate for kinship can find a surprising lifeline in the filmography of actress Barbara Stanwyck, a star casting a well-defined shadow for LGBTQ Americans even in the era of Hollywood's 'lavender marriage." - Eric Gansworth, author of A Half-Life of Cardio-Pulmonary Function: Poems and Paintings
