Real Journalism: Self-Published Writings on Sexual Politics, History and Culture by Karl Andersson. ISBN: 9789189865242

Real Journalism

The underground magazines Destroyer and The Lover were published by Karl Andersson between 2006 and 2017.

Real Journalism contains 57 articles from these obscure and hard-to-get magazines.

The articles are both an insider’s indictment of the contemporary LGBTQ+ movement and the society it is embedded in, and a call to action directed at independent minds, real journalists – and maybe yourself.

Note: Except the cover art, this book does not contain any photos or illustrations.
