Circa 2000
Lesbian Fiction at the Millennium
Terry Wolverton; Robert Drake
One of these days, readers are going to notice that lesbian fiction has moved far beyond the dour, correct, and clumsy scribblings that graced–or failed to grace–the lesbian-feminist journals of the ’70s and ’80s. In this fresh and impressive collection, Terry Wolverton and Robert Drake (editors of the recent His and Hers volumes) bring together writers as celebrated as Dorothy Allison and Carole Maso–neither of whom can be termed a ‘lesbian writer,’ if this suggests a small audience and a limited subject matter–with relative newcomers like Robin Podolsky and Cynthia Bond. Among the best stories (most of which were previously published within the last nine years) are A.M. de la Luz Montes’ ‘R for Ricura,’ the tale of a delicious, necessary loss of innocence; ‘Larissa Lai’s ‘When Fox Is a Thousand,’ a novel excerpt that draws on Chinese folklore; and Gerry Gomez Pearlberg’s ‘Caravan,’ in which the partner of a famous woman describes the loneliness of loveless sex. There is also a companion volume, Circa 2000: Gay Fiction at the Millennium, of equally well written and moving work. –Regina Marler
