	All Books by Shani Mootoo - Author of : Out on Main Street & Other Stories Paperback - 128 pages (November 1993) Press Gang Publishers; ISBN: 0889740526 "Lesbian Short Stories; In Out on Main Street, Mootoo exposes the uncertainty of the hybrid individual. She explores a variety of situations in which her characters are pressed to display a prescribed cultural authenticity both by individuals putatively from within the same culture and from those who are clearly outsiders. Each group refuses to acknowledge the possibility of variation and the fallacy of subscribing to a belief that dictates a monolithic, rigid culture; the culturally inauthentic person is made to feel guilty for not being exotic enough, different enough."

	All Books by Eileen Myles - Author of : Chelsea Girls Paperback - 276 pages (June 1994) Black Sparrow Pr; ISBN: 0876859325 "Lesbian Short Stories; Eileen Myles has an incredible gift for nailing down a moment, or for that matter, a sweep of years. Each image is carefully chosen and tacked into place, and what rises is the edifice of a life. The metaphor is probably too static. Myles's prose is exhilarating even at its bleakest, it's full of breathless speed. There's plenty that is bleak here--a sad alcoholic father who dies before his daughter's eyes; an awful, floundering gang-rape; poverty, drugs, booze, ambition thwarted and bitterly fulfilled. It's the great American sadness, and it would be unbearable if Myles didn't write with such wit, elegance, and an utter lack of self-pity. The writer that comes to mind is Henry Miller, but a Henry Miller who didn't hate women." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
	All Books by Leslea Newman - Author of : Every Woman's Dream : Short Fiction Paperback - 180 pages (November 1994) New Victoria Pub; ISBN: 0934678626 "Lesbian Short Stories; This collection gathers pieces ranging from single-page sketches to well-crafted short stories. "What I Will Not Tell You" is a brief monologue that tells all. A pair of socks narrates the story of "Around the World in Eighty Dykes." A woman is seduced by a painting in "Still Life with Woman and Apple," and a lesbian writer with seven rejected novels considers a Faustian deal in "Plotting with the Devil." All 28 pieces are fresh, most are fun, and a few, such as "Let Me Explain," a mother's letter to her dead son's lover, are mind and gut wrenchers." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
	All Books by Leslea Newman - Author of : Girls Will Be Girls Paperback - 248 pages (January 15, 2000) Consortium Book Sales & Dist; ISBN: 1555835376 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "The 11 short stories and one novella in Girls Will Be Girls may satisfy, for the moment, Leslea Newman's large, enthusiastic readership, who will relish her arch humor in stories like "Eggs McMenopause," in which a woman of a certain age decides that the only way she can grasp the fact of her many shed eggs is by buying several hundred chicken eggs at the grocery store, a few dozen at a time, and distributing them around her small apartment. In the titular novella, Newman turns her attention to infidelity, hovering between the comic and the tragic as she describes the breakdown of a long and stable (read: static and dull) relationship between Gwen, a therapist, and her artist girlfriend, Didi, who "couldn't have asked for a more considerate lover. No, what she wanted was a less considerate lover.... A lover who didn't care if her teeth were brushed or if she was going to rip Didi's dress or ruin her brand new manicure." What happens when Gwen's handsome new client gets a look at Didi comes as no surprise, but Gwen's quirky revenge will keep the pages turning. - Regina Marler (Amazon.com)" Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Ruthann Robson - Author of : Cecile : Stories Hardcover - 164 pages (December 1991) Firebrand Books; ISBN: 156341001X "Lesbian Short Stories; The narrator and Cecile are a modern-day Ozzie and Harriet co parenting a boy named Colby. Though caught up in the round of daily concerns, they are not naive or bland but likable, even quirky. Nearly all the situations they confront are ordinary ones, though a few aren't solved as easily as others. Yet ultimately the beauty of these stories is their very ordinariness: they show a family unit of two women and their son in circumstances that aren't very different from those of any other family."
