This a slim (only 40 pages) collection of 6 short stories, making it a little bit hard for me to know how to review thoroughly. From the first couple sentences, I hooked on Matthews’s style. (From “Bedroom”: “Someone keeps leaving used condoms outside my apartment. When I complain about it, you say maybe it’s justRead More
Danika reviews Before the Rain: A Memoir of Love & Revolution by Luisita Lopez Torregrosa
Before the Rain is a beautifully-written memoir that is just what the subtitle promises: about love and revolution.

Danika reviews Gay Lives edited by Robert Aldrich
I’ve got to say, as far as first impressions go: this is a beautiful book. It has a gorgeous, soft-to-the-touch dustjacket and tons of high quality photos throughout and thick pages… ah.
