Tortilleras: Hispanic and U.S. Latina Lesbian Expression edited by Lourdes Torres and Inmaculada Perpetusa-Seva paper: $24.95, Feb 03 ISBN: 1-59213-007-0 cloth: $74.50 ISBN: 1-59213-006-2	"Finalmente, the hole in the canon has been filled by Tortilleras, a book as fierce as the women it chronicles from the 17th century Catalina Erauso who passes as a man in Peru to the 21st century writer extraordinaire and political activist in the U.S. Cherrie Moraga. Exelente!" —Carmelita Tropicana Obie award winning performance artist
Andy Warhol's Blow Job by Roy Grundmann paper: $22.95 ISBN: 1-56639-972-6 cloth: $69.50 ISBN: 1-56639-971-8	"Roy Grundmann has written a thoughtful, funny, accessible, yet deeply theorized book that situates Warhol's most (in)famous film in all its polymorphous contexts. This book shows just how rich 'close reading' can be, yet it offers a window on the entire underground of a Warholian century." —Caroline A. Jones MIT

Once again, Tony Heyes has graced us with a review. This time of Tommy's Tale
by Alan Cumming
See the review here.

Andrew Barriger's regular column Fairy Factoid© is gaining a following. Find out why in this issue's offering, Part Two of Constellations.

Duane Simolke adds yet another dimension to his diverse literary offerings with this science-fiction thriller. He has already established that he can create whole communities with his Acorn Stories—a book of short stories. With his collection of essays and poetry in Holding Me Together, he has shown that he is equally adroit with research and a breath-taking turn of phrase. In Degranon, Simolke brings it all together, creating not a single community, but a whole world. His characters are as unique as anything he creates with his Acorn Stories, but in Degranon, he weaves a tightly plotted story of a planet on the verge of political and social ruin, exacerbated by those with misguided and therefore "evil" intentions. Layer upon layer of intrigue and counter-balancing moves make this scifi story one that will hold your interest and surprise you with its twists and turns. Definitely a good read.
