A selection of short stories and fiction excerpts by lesbian writers. As with any anthology, the works differ radically in style and substance. I particularly enjoyed Mrs Yakamoto Comes to Stay by Hildie V Kraus, Joshua by Robin Podolsky, Chinese Medicine by Sandra Golvin, and the exceptional Self-deliverance by Elise D'Haene. Worth a read if you come across it.

The central aim of this anthology, according to Terry Wolverton and Robert Drake in their introduction, was to present a unified voice in gay and lesbian fiction, a voice that had been splintered since the 1970s. I'm not sure how successful they were considering the great range of style and subject matter presented here. It did succeed in bringing together a lot of good writing..

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, most of the gay authors and fiction that I've read comes from the 1950s and earlier: Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Virginia Woolf. Even though this collection is 20 years old now it still feels remarkably contemporary.

As the back cover says, the stories here range from contemporary fiction to the Roman Empire and Greek mythology and in a case or two perhaps some near-future dystopian settings. I want to single out three stories for especially catching my attention:

"Negatives from Mr. Tobias' Vacation" by David Vernon, the beginning and end of a secret gay relationship witnessed by an aging secretary; "Murder is My Business" by Lynette Prucha, a modern crime noir detective story; and "Foster and Rosenthal Reevaluated: An Investigative Report" by Rick Sandford, a fictional research paper documenting the relationship between an SS Office and a Jewish childhood friend.

That not to say there weren't a dozen or more great stories from the 24 story collection, but those were my favorites. The collection showcases a great diversity of talent and I'm glad I picked it up.
