I was pleased to see lesbian writer, Sarah Schulman, getting her latest book reviewed in a non LGBT publication.
Lesbian.com featured an interview with brilliant lesbian poet Staceyann Chin
From New Inquiry, 7 Days of Queer Theory. This brought back some good memories of reading all these people and getting my head cracked open (in a good way).
The full text of Mythologies, Roland Barthes seminal work of cultural criticism, is available here.
I really like this nuanced post from Fantasy writer, Kate Eliot, about definitions of strength and writing “strong characters” in literature (via Foz Meadows)
Two of my favourite pop culture posts were Anne Billson’s Kidnapped: Women in action movies and Genevieve Valentine’s hilarious review of Hansel and Gretel, which actually made me want to watch the film, dire though it sounds.
What a great group of links! I was especially excited to see the review of Sarah Schulman’s memoir; I read it recently and fell in love with it. Have you had a chance to check it out?
Glad you enjoyed the links. I haven’t read the new memoir yet, but I’m hoping to get hold of it soon.
I’ve got the one about familial homophobia, but I’m a bit resistant to reading it because I don’t really want to be confronted with the homophobia in my own family!
