Tristan Taormino (ed.):
Sometimes She Lets Me.
Best Butch/Femme Erotica.
USA 2010, 228 pp., brochure, € 12.79
Butch/femme is erotic
iconography, bulging
jeans, smeared lipstick,
stiletto heels, and sharp
haircuts. It‘s about individual
identity and a
collective sense of community.
It‘s personal,
political, sexual electricity
and power exchange.
It‘s the visceral space
between the flesh and the imagination. Does
the swagger of a confident butch make you
swoon? Do your knees go weak when you
see a femme straighten her stockings? Tristan
Taormino chose her favorite butch/femme stories.
Even if you think you know what goes
on in the bedroom between femmes and butches,
these 22 stories will delight you with
erotic surprises. A recently arrived town librarian
shows a butch baker some new tricks in
bed. On a chase in the woods, a stud finds her
baby girl by scent alone. And, a girl in a pleated
skirt gets exactly what she wants from her
Daddy. A new collection of erotic tales by notorious
Taormino.
Kenna White: Comfortable Distance.
USA 2009, 271 pp., brochure, € 13.79
Dana Robbins needs a
vacation from her girlfriend
- and her life. Used
to working out her
problems in her work,
the successful syndicated
cartoonist plans a
solo summer vacation on
a houseboat, hopeful
that the separation will
resolve her doubts about
her future with Shannon.
But Shannon‘s frequent calls demanding some
resolution only heighten her turmoil. Marine
28
Biologist Dr. Jamie Hughes sees Puget Sound
in ways few people do. The hours she spends
diving its depths and running her laboratory
absorb all her focus and time. When Jamie
meets the obviously distressed Dana at a
friend‘s, she offers her scientific detachment to
help Dana sort through her problems. Worrying
about Dana‘s present is easier than examining
her own past. But as the summer heats up, the
distance between Dana and Jamie is anything
but comfortable.
Emma Donoghue: Inseparable.
Desire Between Women in Literature.
USA 2010, 273 pp., hardbound, € 24.30
This book explores the
little-known literary tradition
of love between
women in Western literature,
from Chaucer and
Shakespeare to Charlotte
Brontë, Dickens,
Agatha Christie, and
many more. The author
brings to bear all her
knowledge and grasp to
examine how desire between women in English
literature has been portrayed, from schoolgirls
and vampires to runaway wives, from crossdressing
knights to contemporary murder stories.
She looks at the work of those writers
who have addressed the »unspeakable subject«,
examining whether such desire between
women is freakish or omnipresent, holy or evil,
heart-warming or ridiculous as she excavates
a long-obscured tradition of (inseparable) friendship
between women, one that is surprisingly
central to our cultural history.
