Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities

August 13, 2019 By Tony Leggio

The book review is one of my favorite columns to write for many reasons, but the main one is it gives me the chance to discover new authors and explore genres I normally do not read.  This is definitely true of my book for August - Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities.  Edited by Belo Miguel Cipriani, this book highlights some of the best writers … [Read more...] about Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities

Book Review: What Rough Beast

August 13, 2019 By Frank Perez

What Rough Beast.  Robert Dole.  Austin Macauley Publishers, 2017.  126 pages. This is a strange, odd mess of a book.  Hot and shitty?  Not necessarily—but certainly weird and peculiar. What Rough Beast is marketed as a novel but it’s more of a novella, sort of.  The first half reads like notes for a memoir.  The second half is formatted … [Read more...] about Book Review: What Rough Beast

July 16, 2019 By Frank Perez

Deb Jannerson.  The Women of Dauphine.  Nine Star Press, 2019.  221 pages The Women of Dauphine is New Orleans poet and essayist Deb Jannerson’s debut novel, and while it is aimed at young adults, it is not an easy or comfortable read.  It is perhaps better to say this is a necessarily uncomfortable read.  At the heart of the story is lesbian ghost … [Read more...] about The Women of Dauphine

The Pox Lover is a personal history of the turbulent 1990s in New York City and Paris by a pioneering American AIDS journalist, lesbian activist, and daughter of French-Haitian elites. In an account that is by turns searing, hectic, and funny, Anne-christine d’Adesky remembers “the poxed generation” of AIDS—their lives, their battles, and their determination to find love and … [Read more...] about The Pox Lover – An Activist’s Decade in New York and Paris by Anne-Christine d’Adesky
