Beschreibung
A wonderfully diverse collection of 29 stories which offers an eloquent definition of post-Stonewall lesbian short fiction The writers of these intriguing, provocative stories come from every part of the world. Their stories are set in South Africa, Trinidad, Australia, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand and elsewhere, bringing a thrilling diversity not only of subject matter, but of style, too. These are writers who have little in common other than that they have written on lesbian themes. Award-winning novelist Emma Donoghue, author of the bestselling Room, has chosen unexpected stories rather than ones already much anthologised; the chosen stories by the well-known writers tend not to be those for which those writers are best known; and there are many less familiar names. One section explores the taboo topic of young girls' sexuality, another reclaims Family Values from bigots, a third represents the burgeoning genre of lesbian historical fiction, while a fourth explores beyond the confines of naturalism, pointing a way to the future. This is, above all perhaps, a very readable anthology.
