Recenzii
Theoretically important and fascinating to read, Odd Couples adds to the surprisingly scant social scientific literature on friendship. More significantly, it explores friendships between gay men and straight women, and between lesbians and straight men in a way that no other work has. Clearly locating her study in the psychological and sociological literature on friendships, family, identity development, and gender issues, Anna Muraco adds to our understanding of gay and lesbian lives and raises provocative questions about gender and sexuality. Peter M. Nardi, author of Gay Mens Friendships: Invincible Communities
In this extremely engaging and enlightening book, Anna Muraco sheds new light on the intersection of sex and sexual orientation, the complexity of friendship, and its relevance in contemporary North American society. Brian de Vries, co-editor of Gay and Lesbian Aging
Social research like this breathes life into queer theory by grounding it in the mire of human proficiency. - Sally R. Munt, Times Higher Education, August 23rd 2012 "Odd Couples presents a wealth of information on the initiation, development, and sustenance of intersectional friendships. While the book addresses common phenomena observed across all of the dyads, each chapter contains a vignette of an intersectional friendship. Six of the dyads from the study are featured, balanced among gay male-straight female and gay female-straight male friendships, as well as friendships between people of different races. The vignettes allow readers to form their own conclusions about intersectional friendships, and perhaps see some similarities between their friendships and those featured in the book." Rachel Wexelbaum, Lambda Literary, May 22nd 2012
"Odd Couples explores the untraditional "chosen" families that many in the gay and lesbian community have turned to whether out of necessity in the face ofreiection from biological families or out ofpreference for constructing a community with shared values....a timely exploration of shifting friendship paradigms in relation to sex, gender, and family, it [Odd Couples] starts a conversation you should join."

Descriere
Muraco studies friendships between straight women and gay men and straight men and lesbians to consider how their relationships both challenge and reinforce conventional notions of sexuality and gender. Based on in-depth interviews with over 25 pairs of friends, the book considers how people experience gender and sex roles differently within these intersectional relationships. At the beginning of each chapter Muraco provides a short vignette that profiles one of the friendships. The chapters then touch on the ways that these intersectional friendships differ from same-sex and common sexual orientation relationships, on how issues of family, sex and romantic tension, and gender roles are played out in these friendships. The book expands upon sociological studies of friendship and family and will be useful for undergraduate teaching.
