O Solo Homo:
The New Queer Performance
Holly Hughes
This anthology contains substantial lesbian/WLW content throughout. Editor Holly Hughes is herself an American lesbian performance artist, and her piece ‘Clit Notes’ extensively explores lesbian sexuality, desire, coming out, and lesbian life. Peggy Shaw’s piece ‘You’re Just Like My Father’ examines butch identity and what it means to be butch, a specifically lesbian cultural identity. Susan Miller’s ‘My Left Breast’ (performed by Sarah Senff) discusses a lesbian’s experience with breast cancer. The anthology also features Kate Bornstein’s piece about her female lover transitioning, and includes multiple lesbian and queer women performers among its contributors. Open Library categorizes it under ‘Lesbians’ and ‘Gays’ writings, American,’ confirming the significant lesbian content alongside broader LGBTQ+ material.
