All Books by Sonja
Ahlers -
Author of : Temper, Temper Paperback - 144 pages (September 1998) AAA; ISBN: 1895837413 "Lesbian Humour; Jump right in! Forwards, backwards, anywhere's fine! I guarantee you'll read it at least 3 times and share it with at least as many friends. Kudos to Sonja for sharing such a delightful and wildly personal account of the moments of her life with the world. Moments. Snippets. A phrase snagged from the air and thrown onto paper. Thoughts. Associations. A peek at the gymnastics of the mind. Through pithy remarks, snappy one-liners, thought provoking collage work and ink blotty scribblyscrawlies, Sonja lets you in, in, IN. In where? Into her head. Read it more than once to pick up on the subtle threads weaving their way through what seems like voyeuristic chaos. Smart, honest and seemingly unedited, which, very simply stated, is the book's greatest charm." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

Author of : Split-Level Dykes to Watch Out
For Paperback - 136 pages (October 1998) Firebrand Books; ISBN: 1563411024 ~*~ Featured Book Review ~*~ "The thousands of devoted readers who follow the weekly chronicles of Bechdel's cartoon heroines--Lois, Sparrow, Ginger, Jezanna, and Mo, among others--probably already know that the strips read best in book form, where Bechdel's sly observations of lesbian life in the 1990s can blend with her ongoing narrative into something like a sketchy but provocative novel. Split-Level Dykes, the eighth collection in the series, is no exception. Its two dominant story lines--politically correct Mo commits herself to the brainy and self-absorbed Sydney, while Clarice and Toni, lesbian moms of color, nearly break up over their move to the great white suburbs--keep the reader enthralled and anxious, easy prey to the comic relief of Sparrow's heterosexual panic and the dating foibles of the swashbuckling Lois. With an anthropologist's eye for social detail, Bechdel fleshes out her two-dimensional world into something you could consider either the best kind of beach reading or the stuff of doctoral dissertations. - Regina Marler (Amazon)" Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

All Books by Kate Clinton -
Author of : Don’t Get Me Started Paperback - 208 pages (February 2000) Ballantine Books (Trd Pap); ISBN: 0345430166 "Lesbian Humour; Let's get one thing straight. I'm not. And yes, my brother is Bill Clinton. But not the Bill Clinton. These two guys are very different. For one, whenever I hear President Bill speak--on gays in the military, healthcare reform--I hear that sound trucks make when they're backing up. I was born on the cusp of Title IX, at a time when the sports pages claimed only men played sports. When people ask where I got my comedy training, I tell them teaching high school English. I began performing stand-up in 1981, the same year Ronald Reagan began his comedy. I never got used to saying President Ronald Reagan. It was like saying President Merv Griffin. Reagan wasn't so much a president as the host. He was having such a good time playing president and going on vacation that he decided to run again. I'm out and proud. When I'm out and it's raining I carry an umbrella. I used to be in but I hate the smell of moth balls. My closet was huge, complete with a foyer, turnstile, a few locks, dead bolts, and a burglar alarm that had to be deactivated before I could even touch the door handle. And then there was the storm door. It wasn't until I had lived and slept with a woman for a year that it occurred to me to ask, "Do you think were lesbians?" By the way, never come out to your father in a moving vehicle. Now I've written a book. It's not as easy as it looks. One night, I was working late on my computer when a little message came up on the screen, "You are almost out of memory." Here are my thoughts and observations on everything from gay marriage (Mad Vow Disease) to my morbid fear of mascots (with the exception of the San Diego Chicken). Thats all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil it for you. That's a job for Jesse Helms. I'll leave you with one last anecdote: Once when my Dad was visiting, he sat through an evening of gay politics, gay theory, gay gossip, and toward the end of the discussion, my partner turned to him and asked, "Well, Mr. Clinton, what do you think we as gay people can do to make more bridges to straight people?" My Dad did one of his patented, exquisitely timed pauses and replied, "Keep talking."" Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
