The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse

Rating:
Summary: Mabel Maney¹s hilarious lesbian parody of Nancy Drew.
Review: When Cherry Aimless lands in the Castro in search of Nancy Clue and a flock of missing nuns, the earnestly whitegirl '50s meet the oh-so-queer '90s in a delightful satire of both girl detective novels and lesbian romantic fiction. Mabel Maney¹s hilarious and perceptive parody is the culmination of a lifetime of gay research into the gosh-golly world of the 50s as seen in the popular culture of the period, including a master¹s thesis on the genre and several major art installations. Mabel Maney has also written The Case of the Good-For-Nothing Girlfriend and Nancy Clue and the Hardly Boys in A Ghost in the Closet (Cleis Press).
