bethal 's review for:

After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz
3.0

Really a 3.5

I’m grateful for all the information this novel has given to me. A very unique interpretation of biography and fiction. There are so many important woman, sapphic or not, that are unsung heroes of the Arts. I’m glad Schwartz is doing her part to give them a voice. That being said, it’s incredibly Eurocentric with the occasional American. However, I’m sure that is due to literature historically smothering non-white authors and let alone women of colour.

Nevertheless, I’m appreciative of the sapphics of the past and all their efforts to give women a better future than they had lived.
