- Title
'[God] Is A Flaming Hebrew Letter': Esoteric Camp in Angels in America.
- Authors
Kilner-Johnson, Allan
- Abstract
The article explores Tony Kushner's play "Angels in America" and how he aligns the theological history of spiritual revelation and textual exegesis with the performative associations of camp, the stylized heightening of otherness, citation and irony central to contemporary gay culture. Topics discussed include description of author Patrick S. Cheng on queer theology, and key principles of camp, according to American writer Susan Sontag.
