Tag reviews The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard edited by Tom Leger and Riley Macleod

October 8, 2013 by Danika Ellis

“In some ways, this book is a response to what so many professors of English language literature ask their students to consider at the start of each semester. Why literature? What does literature accomplish?” The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard is straightforward in what it is right in the title. It’s a collectionRead More

Danika reviews The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan

October 7, 2013 by Danika Ellis

For October, in honor of Halloween, I’ve been picking up some appropriate books. This one I was especially excited about, because there aren’t a lot of lesbian horror books. Besides, the premise really appealed to me. Here, I’ll just paste part of the the blurb. Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuousRead More

Casey reviews Mermaid in Chelsea Creek by Michelle Tea

October 4, 2013 by Danika Ellis

I feel a bit like a terrible literary queer when I say that I haven’t read much of Michelle Tea—I actually saw the film version of Valencia when it was recently at Vancouver’s queer film festival, and I haven’t read the book yet!  While Michelle Tea was in town for the screening, though, I hadRead More

Danika reviews Blue Is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh

September 29, 2013 by Danika Ellis

Honestly, after Casey’s review of this title, I feel like my whole review could just be “I agree!” But that would be a bit of a cheat. Besides, I did read the English translation, so we do have that difference. Blue Is the Warmest Color is a graphic novel structured so that Emma is readingRead More

Rachel reviews Pembroke Park by Michelle Martin

September 23, 2013 by Danika Ellis

 Pembroke Park by Michelle Martin is a daring novel for its time. Published in 1986, it is the story of two lesbian women in the regency period of England. The year is 1817 in Herefordshire, and wealthy widow Joanna Sinclair, one of England’s privileged “ton”, the upper class society of England, meets her new neighbor,Read More
