geminigirlThat's right, dear readers, I need your help.
My best friend called me, with an interesting project, and I know some of you have something to offer here.
He's doing an independent study this Fall term...gay and lesbian literature. And he's looking for suggestions. In the brief five minute conversation we had, other than Dancer from the Dance, which is one of his favorite books of all time, I suggested that he read Rubyfruit Jungle, Stone Butch Blues, and Oranges are not the Only Fruit or Sexing the Cherry. I also tossed out Tales of the City as a possibility. I also mentioned Annie on my Mind as a possibility, dealing with lesbianism in an adolescent context.
This was a five minute conversation so there's much untapped...I haven't yet looked through my bookshelf, nor have I gone through Lambda Rising (the local gay bookstore) but I'm throwing it out to you all for suggestions.
Update I just sent him an e-mail suggesting David Feinberg's Eighty-Sixed or Spontaneous Combustion
Update #2, 11:33 PM I just e-mailed him again about adding David Leavitt's The Lost Language of Cranes or something else by him to the list.
(Oh and no comments from the peanut gallery-you know who you are,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joshuapanther and grimkitten about my music selection. I still swear I'm not goth enough.)
