We meet a teacher in Barcelona who locks herself up in her grandmother's house with her young Columbian student, and witness a Slovenian woman's rendezvous with her long dead lover.This collection includes the work of familiar writers, as well as a number never before published in English. From the West Indies to Eastern Europe, the Middle East to Southeast Asia, Latin America to South Africa, the distinctive stories found in these pages evoke the diverse political, cultural, emotional, and sexual landscapes of each writer's life. A groundbreaking volume from the Lamda Award-winning editors Naomi Holoch and Joan Nestle, who also wrote the introduction, this collections evokes the universal urgency of persistent desire.Table of Contents:Mary Dorcey, Ireland from A Noise from the WoodshedMakeda Sivera, Jamaica Caribbean ChameleonMireille Best, France Stéphanie's BookChristina Peri Rossi, Uruguay Final Judgement and Singing in the DesertShani Mootoo, India-Trinidad-CanadaLemon ScentMarguerite Yourcenar, BelgiumSappho or SuicideEmma Donoghue, IrelandLooking for PetronillaSylvia Molloy, Argentinafrom Certificate of AbsenceDale Gunthorp, South Africa GypsophilaKaren Williams, South Africa The Came at DawnCynthia Price, South Africa Lesbian BedroomsAlifa Rifaat, EgyptMy World of the UnknownYasmin V.
