dsea 's review for:

After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz

4.0

---

One of the more uniquely formatted books I’ve ever read. Readers might find it difficult to access the format of the text, unless they have a baseline knowledge of Sappho’s work being fragmented. The author does a fantastic job at taking the reader through rarely covered moments throughout Sapphic/Queer history, diving into famous sapphists and the like. The narrative is written in the form of a Greek chorus. The writing feels sumptuous and the vignettes are as mysterious and erotic as the best of sappho’s fragments.
