Dedicated to the author’s “wide ranging tribe of friends, accomplices, and cuntpatriots,” A Fucking Brief History of Fucking is a chapbook of poetry by Philadelphia-based writer Janet Mason. And it is so, so lesbian. In one poem, a former dancer gives another woman a musculo-skeletal overview of how pasties are twirled; in another, two womenRead More
Alyssa reviews Women on the Edge of Space
Women on the Edge of Space is a chapbook of four sci-fi, erotica short stories. While it is billed as an anthology, it is neither long nor consistent enough for that to be an accurate descriptor. It contains the following four works: 1. “The Many Little Deaths of Cicilia Long” by Shanna Germain 2. “FairRead More

Guest Lesbrarian Lindy Pratch reviews One in Every Crowd by Ivan E. Coyote
Ivan E. Coyote’s autobiographical stories are especially chosen for a teen audience in the collection One in Every Crowd. I was pleased to encounter many of my favourites from previous collections. In the same way that I like listening to some songs over and over, it’s nice to read a good story more than once. IRead More
Casey reviews Shortcomings by Adrian Tomine
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

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
