After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz

3.0

---

This book has an interesting concept and shows the many ways in which the lives of several famous lesbian and bisexual artists intersected between the late 1880s through the 1920s. However, the way this novel is written made it difficult to understand at times and I felt like if this had been written as a typical novel rather than in what felt like poetic prose, it would have been more enjoyable and would have given readers more of an opportunity to get more information about these women and understand the work they created and the events that shaped who they became. It's still informative and has me wanting to look more into the women described here and some of their work.
