Pink Steam by Dodie Bellamy is a cross-genre collection of prose written over two decades. Contradictorily classified as fiction/essay/memoir, the 22 pieces are arranged into what the author has described as “a fractured autobiography in which the culture I live in is as much my autobiography as are the ‘facts’ of my life.” For her,Read More
Kelly reviews Inferno by Eileen Myles
Inferno: A Poet’s Novel, Eileen Myles If the flight from Minneapolis to Vancouver had been just a little longer, I would have finished this book in one sit. Not because of the plot—basically nonexistent—but because of the feeling, thought, feeling. Plus, the hot and sometimes hilarious sex, of course. Though subtitled “A Poet’s Novel,” thisRead More
Danika reviews Red Rover by Liz Bugg and Land of Entrapment by Andi Marquette
I decided to review these in the same post because I have similar things to say about both of them. My favourite thing about Red Rover is the queer elements. Not only is the main character a lesbian whose relationship is a side story in the novel, she also has ties to the queer community.Read More
Nichole reviews Unavailable by Angela Kelly
Unavailable by Angela Kelly: A collection of short fiction. A look into a woman’s heart – the strength of which comes from the experience and humorous, raw rhetoric. I loved this book. Right off the bat you know Kelly is going to take you some place new. She introduces “the unsures.” And then describes several ofRead More
Laura Mandanas reviews “4 Stories, 4 Stories Up” by Sara Elizabeth
“4 Stories Down, 4 Stories Up” by Sara Elizabeth is a series of vignettes following the budding romance between two high school girls. Barely five pages long, it is brief, lovely, and tantalizingly well written. As the story follows the ups and downs of the couple’s relationship, the first person writing is straightforward and theRead More

Danika reviews Missed Her by Ivan E. Coyote
Ivan E. Coyote is one of my very favourite queer writers. When giving recommendations for les/bi/etc books, Sarah Waters and Ivan E. Coyote are at the top of the list (though their styles are pretty different). Ivan is often described as a “kitchen table storyteller,” and it’s true. Their stories read as if one ofRead More

The Lesbrary is looking for more Lesbrarians!
You may have noticed that the Lesbrary hasn’t updated in a little while. At the moment, it’s just me (Danika) running the place, and to tell the truth, sometimes going to school and going to work get in the way. I’d the like the Lesbrary to be more active and have more contributors, though, soRead More
