The Reluctant Lesbian

Product Information

With the clock ticking, they're going to have to trust each other. In a game of power, can love be the deadliest weapon? Two hearts, one kingdom, and a romance that could lead to their ruin. These stories were first published on Patreon. And that's not easy when their past is filled with betrayal. It's even harder when their hearts are entangled amidst the chaos. Reconsidering notions of the 'invisible' or 'apparitional' lesbian, Jodie Medd argues that lesbianism's representational instability, and the scandals it generated, rendered it an influential force within modern politics, law, art and the literature of modernist writers like James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf. Everything's hotter in the tropics.
