And What About Anybodys?

Thanks to Mermaniac and The Minor Fall, The Major Lift for weighing in on the battle between Arthur Laurents and James McCourt over the encoded homosexuality of West Side Story.

"Encoding is not about intent of writer. Queer encoding is the unconscious insertion of traces of ambiguity in any artistic statement." How do you argue with that logic?

I can't wait to hear McCourt's opinion of the new Mario Lanza musical.
