- Summary
- "Spanning the years 1988 to 2002, a time when she published six collections of short fiction, this volume contains the very best of Leslea Newman, perhaps the most influential writer of lesbian fiction today. Included is the author's signature piece, "A Letter to Harvey Milk," wherein Harry Weinberg, a 77-year-old Holocaust survivor, takes a writing class during which he unearths memories that force both him and his writing teacher, a Jewish lesbian, to see their lives differently. Leslea Newman's stories cover a dazzling array of themes pertaining to contemporary lesbian life, including long-term relationships, one-night stands, family-of-origin angst, motherhood, friendships with gay men, AIDS, breast cancer, aging, loss, and bisexuality. Each story in this collection is told with the author's trademark wit, honesty, humor, and compassion."--BOOK JACKET.
