“Ma dei due il mortal mi parve/ più bello assai del dio”. "300.000 baci" di Seán Hewitt e Luke Edward Hall

Starting from the anthology "300.000 Kisses" by Seán Hewitt and Luke Edward Hall, this study aims to analyze the literary manifestations of queer themes, exploring how the act of anthologizing serves as an orienting and guiding force within queer literature. In this case, the ‘anthology operation’ functions as a compass, highlighting significant trends and providing a cohesive understanding of queer literary landscapes. This essay underscores the anthology's role in validating and elevating queer voices, offering both representation and critical insight. Through this examination, the study highlights the importance of anthologies in shaping, preserving, and directing the discourse in contemporary queer literature.
