I’ve had a copy of Adrian Tomine’s beautifully drawn graphic novel Shortcomings (2007) around for quite a while; when I was working at a bookstore a few years ago I borrowed it, accidentally spilt coffee on it, and ended up having to buy it. Until I recently reread it, I didn’t really think of itRead More
Anna M. reviews Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
I was fortunate enough to receive a review copy of the forthcoming Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin. This historical coming of age tale is set in the Minnesota resort town of Excelsior. It’s 1926, and sixteen-year old Garnet Richardson is spending summer with her haughty relatives in order to give her warRead More

Jasper reviews Glass Houses by Laura J. Mixon
I read about Laura J. Mixon’s “Glass Houses” in K. Cadora’s article “Feminist Cyberpunk.” Cadora, author of the novella “Stardust Bound” (which I recommend), argued that, in “Glass Houses,” Mixon translates the tropes of cyberpunk out of a male-only worldview into a wider, more equitable worldview. As a sometimes cyberpunk and noir fan, I wasRead More

Casey reviews Odd Girl Out by Ann Bannon
Ann Bannon’s pulp novel Odd Girl Out (the first of the famous Beebo Brinker series) is the first, and so far only, 1950s lesbian pulp novel I’ve read. I knew vaguely going into this that things didn’t usually work out so well for the lesbians in these books—publishers usually insisted on a distinct lack ofRead More
Guest Lesbrarian Shanna Shadoan reviews Wildthorn by Jane Eagland
I just read an awesome YA novel. It’s set in Victorian England, and features a young woman who was committed to an asylum for “moral insanity”. Basically, she wasn’t behaving in a properly feminine way. She falls in love with one of the attendants there, so it is a sweet lesbian love story, which isRead More
