Girls, Visions and Everything: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: One of my favorite books.
Review: A quirky novel about lesbians on the Lower East Side of New York. They fall in love, have sex with friends, imagine themselves as great American heros, work dull jobs, and endear themselves to the reader. Schulman richly describes lesbians in the context of their own community and the larger society around them. Very funny, very sexy.

Rating:
Summary: This is the classic lesbian novel.
Review: This changed the way lesbians read, write and live. By taking the myth of Jack Kerouac and the American male on the highway, and adapting it to a lesbian, Sara Shulman not only situated herself within the American canon, but she took the worn out bohemian formulas and reinvigorated them.A classic in every sense.
