What Members Thought
This is not a perfect book - in so many ways it is twisted and folded in on itself and the narrative is much more like a diary in its fits of intensity and breaks in time. But I loved it so much and felt so close to it at the point that I read it that it has five stars in my book.
it took me a little while to get into this book, but eventually i really liked it... stick with it and you'll see what i mean.

read it for class (sexuality in literature or something similar), but am very glad that I did.
excellent book, with a detailed look at what it means to grow up both black and lesbian in the 1950s.
