From Booklist

Harper is a self-described lesbomaniac, which term she coined to express her enthusiasm and delight in all things lesbian. While the wider culture has pursued obsession with the sexual-genital-political conception of lesbians both in academe and on TV talk shows, Harper has gone happily on her way, commenting in her weekly column on ever-so-daily lesbian life. Laughter is frequently the order of the day, as when lovers lip-locked over the kapusta and kielbasa in a Chicago working-class Polish restaurant elicit from Harper musings on the effects of lesbian visibility in the real world. More somberly, the deaths of women significant to lesbianspoet Audre Lorde, actress Greta Garboprompt Harper’s reflections. But virtually anything can prompt the intelligent, mischievous Harper. So she teaches us about lesbians in ancient Egypt, sings a parody of West Side Story to Martina, Martina, observes the Clintons from a new perspective, and takes hard looks at AIDS and the impact of breast cancer in the lesbian community.
