Sister and Brother: Lesbians and Gay Men Write About Their Lives Together

by Joan Nestle (Editor)

On This Page

Description

Here are heartfelt writings from some renowned names in lesbian and gay literature, as well as some debut appearances. These essays explore a kind of love uncomplicated by romance, but surprisingly sensual. As the writers pursue their relationships with the oposite sex, they ultimately lay bare the nature of friendship itself.
