Revealing Lesbian Novel by Melanie Mitzner
Slow Reveal by Melanie Mitzner Set in 1990s New York, Slow Reveal paints an extraordinary portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms. Art, addiction, and family dynamics capsize the Kane’s when they discover the parallel life of Katharine, film editor, mother, lover, and wife. “A poem is never finished, only […]
Water Lessons for National Poetry Month
Water Lessons By Lisa Dordal Through deeply personal and culturally grounded narratives, Water Lessons explores the relationship between reality and imagination, faith and doubt, presence and absence, as the speaker grapples with multiple dimensions of grief arising from her mother’s alcoholism and eventual death; her father’s deepening dementia; and her own childlessness. Against the backdrop […]
What is Lesbian Literature?
All sorts of books are categorized as (lez lit) by LGBTQ people themselves. This trend is not encouraging queer women to tenaciously explore and document our lesbian experiences...
Lesbian Literature: In Search of Pure Lust
“In Search of Pure Lust is more than a meditation on queer identity. It’s an incredible coming-of-age memoir that claims a woman’s right to be herself, wherever and whenever she may be. Weil’s writing is smooth, polished, and lovely. Pure Lust explores a wide range of emotions and experiences, from laugh-out-loud moments to love scenes that take your breath away. […]
The Trouser Question, by Novelist Vanda
Fashion is about more than just clothes. Fashion is about what we wear to tell the world who are, what we’re feeling, what we’ve accomplished, and to what culture we belong. Wearing the clothing of our group is what helps us to fit in. Or not. How much room a culture allows us to deviate […]
Lesbian Fiction: Life in Post World War II NYC
Oh jeepers! I was wearing a red dress. I’d forgotten that everything in Sardi’s is red or maroon. The walls, the banquettes, the seats, the menus, the awning outside. As I worried about how to get out of my red dress without being noticed, Juliana came through the door, stepping feather-light on Sardi’s maroon carpet. […]
Lesbian Lit: Excerpt from ‘Kiss Me Again Paris’
Party at the Palais Royal It was finally late enough to get on my Vespa and drive over to the Palais Royal. Emma’s parents lived on the fifth floor in Rue de Beaujolais. Emma herself had her own “atelier†in the 14th arrondissement, although she had nothing to do with art. Opening the massive, polished […]
Lesbian Book Trailer: Kiss Me Again Paris
Just like everyone, I love movie trailers, those that entice and don’t give away the whole story at a glance. That book trailers can do something similar, is a fairly new idea, but more authors are playing with the new medium. We live in the audiovisual age! My Paris memoir has 130 vintage photographs, which […]
New LGBT Literature – ‘Juliana’ by Vanda
Debut author Vanda brings to you the hidden-in-plain-sight lives of gay men and lesbians in 1940s New York. It’s 1941 and Alice Huffman, “Al,” comes from the potato fields of Long Island with her childhood friends to make it on the Broadway stage, only to find she has no talent. On the kids’ first day […]
New Lesbian Literature “Loving Eleanor”

Roosevelt, the wife of the 1932 Democratic presidential candidate, the two women become deeply, intimately involved. Their relationship begins with mutual romantic passion, matures through stormy periods of enforced separation and competing interests, and warms into an enduring, encompassing friendship that ends only […]
