Finally got through this. As I expected, a lot of the stories included were real duds: tiresome, the writing overwrought and uninteresting. But I think it was worth it for the handful that I enjoyed and that made me want to seek out the authors' other writing. I think my favorite was "Bread" by Rebecca Brown, which was just so precisely written and so strange that it was unforgettable. And I'm excited to read the longer works of Larissa Lai, Cynthia Bond, and Mei Ng that the stories in this collection are excerpted from.

I appreciated an unexpected diversity of voices in this collection. It did make me wonder about what criteria was used to seek out and narrow down submissions, since it is hard to represent ALL lesbian literature in 300 pages. Overall, liked some stories, disliked others, probably as it should be since we can't all like everything!
