this is probably my very favorite book as an artifact. like, i would like to display it prominently on my coffee table as a message to anyone who enters my home. i wish they would make a new edition.

not all the stories were for me (or hold up to the passage of time) but so it goes with anthologies
a good little book nonetheless

The New Fuck You: Adventures in Lesbian Reading edited by Eileen Myles and Liz Kotz
The pieces in this were a definite hit or miss for me, and overall, it wasn’t what I expected when I picked up the book. With most of the stories, it’s obvious that they’re dated (this was published in 1995), and some of them were downright painful to get through. There were a few pieces, however, that really resonated with me. The excerpt from “Clit Notes” by Holly Hughes was so well written and powerful, as was “Sin City” by Julie Regan. My absolute favorite had to be the two poems by Pamela Sneed - they were fantastic.
3.5/5⭐️

There was a lot of good stuff in this collection, and some stories and poems that didn't do much for me. I enjoyed the 90s queerness- the "I don't know what to do about my gender feels and preferences" are interesting in retrospect. The closing story was pretty great, if sad.
