Platinum Bible of the Public Toilet is the first Englishlanguage collection of short stories by Cui Zien Chinas most famous and controversial queer filmmaker writer scholar and LGBTQ rights activist. Drawing on his own experiences growing up in socialist and postsocialist China Cui presents ten queer comingofage stories of young boys and men as they explore their sexuality and desires. From a surreal fairytale depicting a ragtag crew of neighborhood boys in the throes of sexual awakening to a chronicle of the genderbending and homoerotic entanglements of university students to romantic love triangle erotica to a story that examines teacherstudent love and the norms of sex and age Cui centers queer sexuality as a core part of human experience.
