Greg Knotts: This abstract was culled from the back of the book and table of contents.
This collection of literate, intensely personal essays — sometimes heart-wrenching,
often exhilarating — illuminates the breadth and variety of experiences known as "coming out." The artists, writers, activists, and critics brought together in this book range in age from twenty to seventy, and are from all classes, races, and corners of America. Together they offer a vision that is witty, courageous, and memorable: a rich tapestry of lesbian and bisexual experience in the United States over the past half-century. Contributors include: Jacquie Bishop, Cynthia Bond, Cheryl Boyce Taylor, Blanche McCrary Boyd, Holly Hughes, Eileen Myles, Letta Neely, Cecilia Tan, among others.
