"Adventure" is really the right word for it.

A lucky find. I haven't read anything I loved this much in a very long time. Mostly stream-of-consciousness and poetry, but with a few really amazing stories mixed in, it spans the entire range of lesbian experience, defying convention in every way possible. I loved the story with Kathleen Hanna in it. I loved the girl who talks to Jesus in dolphin form. I especially loved the odd gender-neutral girl growing up into the classy dyke in pinstriped suits. In fact, I'm not really sure what I didn't love. Everyone should find a copy of this book and read it. It's really that good.

Best read ever.

This gave me a fulfilling insight in the lifestyles of lesbian lovers. I recommend this text for anyone interested in life. Especially our beloved First Lady whos lifetime commitment to these issues is unprecedented. Love, CT
