Lesbian Fiction at the Millennium

By Wolverton, Terry & Drake, Robert

Publishers Summary:
Lesbian writers find themselves at a crossroads as we enter the new millennium. Rich with the knowledge of its forebears, freed from the put upon shackles of recent decades, lesbian fiction is at a compelling point in history, surging into a new era, not as lesbian literature but as literature, period. It's time to take stock. Renowned authors and editors Terry Wolverton and Robert Drake have brought together the gifted voices of Dorothy Allison, Beth Brant, Rebecca Brown, Emma Donoghue, Larissa Lai, Achy Obejas, Gerry Gomez Pearlbert, and Sarah Schulman plus those of a host of talented newcomers to provide a cultural touchstone that not only illustrates the amazing metamorphosis of this important literary genre but provides a beacon to guide us into the future. The voices in this collection are informed by their experience, their love, their struggle, and their hope, not just as lesbians but as women and as members of the human community. The result is a chorale for our times and times to come.
