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⭐️
