Lesbian Fiction: An Anthology

Summary: A groundbreaking brilliant engaging anthology
Review: The twenty-eight stories in this 1980 anthology include writers whose names are today familiar to most readers: Dorothy Allison, Audre Lorde, Jewelle Gomez, Elizabeth Lynn, Jane Rule, etc. But those names were not well known when Elly Bulkin created this incredibly valuable book. As wonderful as most of the stories are, and they really are wonderful, the introduction Bulkin wrote (27 pages long)is worth the price of the book. It is a brilliant work of scholarly recovery, literary history, and the very best kind of analysis.
