Summary/Abstract: This paper explores how the creative nonfiction writer, T Fleischmann, exemplifies a “queer sense of belonging” throughout the author’s description of encountering a work of art and how it transmits this feeling to the reader. This sense of belonging is an affective feeling co-created through the intertwining elements of queer aesthetics and the encountering subject’s contingent affective history.
