| 1. |  | Motel of the Mysteries
from Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
I attended the premiere of this book at the University of Pennsylvania many, many years ago due to my parent's donations to the local public television station. As I was in junior high school at the time, I failed to appreciate this work in all its subtle humour and glory, but having since studied... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 2. | ![]() | Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers
from Columbia University Press
Price: $62.50
Customer Review:
While this book is an asset in learning about lesbian history it is seriously lacking in connecting ideas and seperating fact from oppinion. While some points are made well there are some that are so far off that they devalue what ever point the author was trying to make. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Curious Wine
from Naiad Press
Customer Review:
I read this book only recently and although it is a bit dated because of being published in 1983, it is also what I would consider a classic. I think it set the stage for lesbian fiction to also be literary fiction. It is a subtle yet powerful story of what happens when two women find themselves... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity (Series Q)
from Duke University Press
Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
This is one of the best works of "post-" theory that I've read, and the essay on paranoia is a much-needed light in the haze of contemporary grad school education. My copy is dog-eared and dirty and filled with underlined passages / scrawled notes to myself (mostly reading "YES!" or "come back to... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
In a see of charlatans, hucksters, half-truths and snake-oil salesmen, we find this island of wisdom. Percy, a psychiatrist turned novelist, was ever a scientist. He takes his aim at a very difficult scientific issue-the study of man. It is very hard for many to study himself, but percy believes the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I enjoyed the introspective approach the author's took in describing the social-political perspective of LGB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) individuals. Various essays throughout the book explores the hidden lives of LBG and themes such as identity, hate crimes, the incidences of gay teen... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from The Johns Hopkins University Press
Customer Review:
If you want to understand the state of trauma studies in their relation to the humanities, you absolutely must be familiar with Caruth's work. This book and her collection of edited essays were in large part responsible for the work on trauma within literature, film, and cultural studies since... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | In a Queer Time and Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives (Sexual Cultures)
from NYU Press
Price: $18.90
Customer Review:
This was my first time reading Halberstam and I've decided we don't jell. If you're a fan, of course you'll like her earlier work on Queer theory. If not, this book is hit or miss. My main complaint: too much of her argument involves the same stereotyping and intolerance she rails against. | 3.0 / 5.0
