For every book that you review, it looks like you read many of the genre. It is this dedication that shows your passion for your work. The same with this review too.<BR/> <BR/>I havent read too many books of same-sex love but one title "The women of Brewster Place" by Gloria Nolen had me gripped. It was strange for many reasons: a string of short stories interwoven to form the whole novel, a depiction of all kinds of love, a picture of the lives of Blacks ... Read this one many years ago but the powerful effect it left still lingers. <BR/> <BR/>Another one that I found powerful for its brutal subtlety (?!) was "Cat on a hot tin roof" the Tennessee Williams play. I feel such depictions far outplay any explicit writing - for their finesse and universality. <BR/> <BR/>Am a dodo on Indian writing of this genre, sorry :-)<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for sharing this Sunil. You are one person who i can talk to about books - although I have become almost illiterate for the past many years :-(<BR/> <BR/>uma chandrasekaranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
