Abstract

Thread of Lies is a work of fiction that deals with homophobia; the trauma and dejection homosexuals face in the twenty-first century. The death of a lesbian couple is the background behind the plot. The exegesis explores the genre (the composite novel) of the creative work, the impacts of religion and politics on homosexuality, and the societies that gay novelists, James Baldwin and Sarah Waters, portray in their fiction.
