Salt Water and Other Stories
Against the spare landscape of new lesbian fiction, the stories in Salt Water stand out as unusually distinguished and affecting--realistic portrayals of longing and disconnection between women.... This description may be from another edition of this product.

A good work of fiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I really liked the stories in this book, especially the first one, "Salt Water," and "Suit of Leather," one of the rewritten fairy tales. Most of the stories are quite sad, dealing with the loss of love or two people never really coming together, such as "Salt Water." That held-back emotions and isolation are represented through the figure of the German woman in this story is perhaps a bit of cliche, but the ways in which the American woman learns about loneliness as a part of life and partially changes her outlook on relationships though this encounter still comes across as convincing. "Suit of Leather," then, is much more upbeat and romantic. All the stories taken together, I would say that they represent the many painful and wonderful facets of love relationships, which the author presents in a profound and touching way.
