Lez Talk: A Collection of Black Lesbian Short Fiction
Lez Talk: A Collection of Black Lesbian Short Fiction | ed. S. Andrea Allen
9 posts | 3 read | 37 to read
"A necessary and relevant addition to the Black LGBTQ literary canon, which oftentimes overlooks Black lesbian writing, Lez Talk is a collection of short stories that embraces the fullness of Black lesbian experiences. The contributors operate under the assumption that lesbian is not a dirty word, and have written stories that amplify the diversity of Black lesbian lives.
At once provocative, emotional, adventurous, and celebratory, Lez Talk crosses a range of fictional genres, including romance, speculative, and humor. The writers explore new subjects and aspects of their experiences, and affirm their gifts as writers and lesbian women. Beginning with Claudia Mosss Who Cooks for You? a lush romantic tale of self-discovery, the collection also includes work from Sheree L. Greer, Lauren Cherelle, LaToya Hankins, S.Andrea Allen, K.A. Smith, Eternity Philops, and Faith Mosley."

Resident On My Bookshelf:
“Shit was about to go down.”

This wonderful anthology is written by and about Black lesbians. My favorite short story in the collection is called “The Other Side of Crazy,” about a woman who believes her girlfriend is cheating. The story ends on a twist that made me practically drop my jaw.
I‘m looking to read more lgbt+ short story collections, so if anyone has any recommendations please send them my way!

A fantastic anthology to kick off the new year. The stories cover a wide range and explore a variety of themes, and are arranged in such a manner that it doesn't tire the reader. QWOC are not a monolith, and this anthology definitely endorses that. Flirty, sensual, happy, morose, dreamy- there's a plethora of experiences covered. #DAReadathon #queerlit #diversebooks #ownvoices #LitsyAtoZ #abcedarian

My review for Lez Talk is up!
You may read it here: http://wp.me/p7a9pe-Y5

This was such a good collection, full of candid and emotionally powerful stories. There's lots of variety to be found here, both in narrative structure, content, and mood/theme. I especially appreciated the balance of serious/dark stories with more lighthearted & feel-good ones. We need more of that in Queer literature.

#shortstories for #booktober
This is an anthology of short stories written by several authors. All stories center around Black lesbian women.
There's so much variety to this collection. There is speculative fiction, stories written in dialect, stories about young & older women, stories with Afro-Cuban representation and so much more. I'm not done reading it yet, but enjoying it so far.
