grunzy 's review for:

After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz
3.5
reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

As suggested in the lengthy bibliographic note,  it's hard to put this book in a genre.  It's fiction but well informed and well linked to actual historical and literary people and moments.  The voice is a collective we which creates an interesting almost timeless sense. I appreciated the fictional factual nature with an incredibly queer and empowering lens. That said,  it was slow, lacked a real plot and was occasionally a journey to make.
