Seasons: Book Two


Anne Azel - 2000
    Headstrong, ambitious, intelligent and self-centered, she is used to everything always going her way. But when she falls in love with her brother's widow Janet, things are about to change. Life with Janet means settling down and domesticity, and Robbie finds herself jointly responsible for the parenting of a pair of dynamic and sometimes willful children.

More Housewives at Play (Housewives at Play, Vol. 2)


Rebecca - 2000
    The "forced milking" scenes are an especially nice touch.

Somewhere Running


Nathalie Stephens - 2000
    Somewhere Running takes an erotically-charged look at sensuality in an unforgivingly urban context. Tentacular and rhythmically insistent, the text exposes what it means to be seen, takes on the artist as voyeur, and charts the transformation of the two women from objets d'art into autonomous subjects of their own desire, voice, and movement. Reminiscent of Beckett and Duras, fusing idiom and image, Somewhere Running is a genre-bending book that loosens language from the reader's expectations.

Seasons: Book One


Anne Azel - 2000
    The two stories here deal with elements of Robbie's career in film and Janet's education, and also examine the crises that occur in an average woman's life. "Seasons" focuses on the courage that it takes to be female and/or gay in today's society.
