\n\n\u201cQueering Benedict Arnold" is historical gay fiction. The story alternates between\ntwenty-first century scenes in which Jake Preston and Ben Arnold (a descendent)\ninvestigate Benedict\u2019s life, and eighteenth-century scenes imagined by Jake and\nBen. Some characters and allusions hark back to \u201cWayward Island\u201d (in nifty\u2019s file\non Beginnings). Jake Preston is the narrator in both works.
\nMost episodes are faithful to history, except for sexual encounters, which are\nfictional. You should not read this story if you are a minor, or if you are offended\nby explicit gay sex.
\nBenedict Arnold was an American military genius who was treated unfairly by\njealous rivals while he lived. After his death, he was denounced as the archetypal\ntraitor in history and folklore, but he was a target of inexplicable hatred long\nbefore his treasonable conspiracy with John Andr\u00e9 to surrender the fort at West\nPoint to the British. Taken as a whole, \u201cQueering Benedict Arnold\u201d is an attempt\nto discover the origins of that hatred.
