Finished "My Lesbian Novel" by the absolute genius that is #ReneeGladman. Every book of hers is mindboggling - each makes me want to write, and to reread all her books. But perhaps even more mindboggling is that I'm literally the only one here tooting about her. She's hands down one of our greatest living writers.

If you are into meta and experimental fiction, and are curious how a lesbian romance could fit in that category, read this.

My Lesbian Novel – Dorothy

Need to call in sick the rest of the day/week/month, just look at these books that just arrived.

Eek!!! Just saw that one of my fave authors, #ReneeGladman, will have two books coming out this year from the amazing Dorothy Project.  Everything Gladman creates is absolute magic, and everything Dorothy puts out is exceptional, so these are bound to be gems.

I think I’m going to need to purposely read this book slowly. It’s so my jam, mixing meta comments about Greek/Latin grammar and crossing the barrier between fiction and nonfiction while being written very poetically. Sort of like a cross between #AnneCarson, #ReneeGladman, and a class on feminist art/literature. #bookstodon
