Hot & Bothered 3
Published in Paperback by Arsenal Pulp Press (01 September, 2001)
Author: Karen X. Tulchinsky
Average review score:

Something here to whet a range of lesbian appetites
From the skillful editing of Karen X. Tulschisky comes Hot and Bothered 3: short short fiction of lesbian desire. Think of this collection of over 69 stories as a table spread with delicious finger foods. The limitation of length (1000 words or less) requires the writers to select their words carefully and results in an almost poetic quality to many stories. Although some of these stories are definitely arousing, please note this is not a volume of erotica, but of desire in its many flavors. Tulschisky has assembled a buffet of writers. Some writers are well known and others are new "chefs," offering their first sales.

Savor the imagery of that perfect autumn afternoon in Leslea Newman's "One Fine Day" which brought a smile to this reader and had her humming a tune for hours. Or nibble at the poignant stories like "Sunsets." Written by Denise Seibert, from the view point of a paraplegic, it is a very touching example of a couple connecting despite barriers to communication. While "Holding Hands" from Jean Taylor expands the definitions of making love. Or Michelle Rait's "Dinner with Jane," which evokes tempting a dieter with a decadent dessert as Regina considers the consequences of time spent with Jane.

There are a number of bittersweet tastes to sample such as "The Phase" where Susan Lee reflects on returning to the city of her youth and first lesbian love; or K. Lee's "Don't Tell" which is a letter written by a teen to her "best friend;" or the passing-for-straight coworker in Stephanie Schroeder's "Goodbye Joanna."

A porta-potty setting does nothing for this reader's palate, yet "Porta-Potty Passion" by Sarah Wiseman does have the quirky, amusing quality of forbidden, preservative and sugar laden junk food. While Cara Bruce's adult encounter with Barbie puts a whole new spin on the idea of playing with your . . . uh, food. These are just a few of the tasty treats for readers to enjoy.

Sometimes one is tempted to read short stories in quick secession, like popcorn. This reader found greater pleasure in reading only one or two of these stories at a time and suggests you do the same. Let them melt on the tongue of your mind a bit. Savor the images these writers create before you wander back to the table. There's something here to whet a range of lesbian appetites.


House Inside the Waves: Domesticity, Art and Surfing Life
Published in Paperback by Beach Holme Pub Ltd (September, 2002)
Author: Richard Taylor
Average review score:

The surfing househusband returns to the sea!
A beautifully woven piece of work that shares the trials and travails of parenthood, Taylor's return to surfing in the formidable yet inspiring waters of Byron Bay, and a reminder of how to love even the most minute aspects of life.

Beyond excellent, without a doubt. Enjoy.


I Once Had a Pet Preying Mantis
Published in Paperback by Mosaic Press (July, 1995)
Authors: Len Gasparini, Leonard Gasparini, and Robert Dykstra
Average review score:

inspiring love of poetry and of nature
I purchased this book because the Journal of Canadian Children's Literature said that every library and school in the country "should have it". I would enlarge that recommendation to the US and Canada, e.g. garter snakes are almost everywhere.

Gasparini is a masterful poet better known for his adult volumes and plays. He presents "nature lessons in verse" that I still find echoing in my mind. My nephew found it hilarious, a neighbour's child memorized several poems to recite to her class. The poems do not demean the reader with anthrocentricism. Instead, they ignite your curiosity with sophisticated prosity and a masterful command of poetry as an art form.


I was a teenage Katima-victim : a Canadian odyssey
Published in Unknown Binding by Douglas & McIntyre ()
Author: Will Ferguson
Average review score:

Out of print!
I am astonished to find that this book is no longer being published. Get a copy now, before they become valuable - and they will, believe me, because this book is fantastic.

The book covers Will Ferguson's experiences in Katimavik, a Canadian youth program which lets young adults work and travel around Canada, expanding their horizons and hopefully turning them into fine upstanding Canadians. His trademark brand of sardonic humour is in fine form throughout, and he does an excellent job of portraying the other people in his Katimavik group, from the arrogant boy from Quebec to the good-hearted but criminal-minded guy who joined Katimavik on court's orders.

Yes, they sound like caricatures, but it's obvious that they're based on real people, and it's the sympathy and skill with which their interaction is recorded which makes this book so great. It's a unique and unmissable work, beautifully combining travel journalism, autobiography, and sharp observation into a brilliant whole. Get it now!


Improved Binoculars
Published in Paperback by The Porcupine's Quill (15 September, 1991)
Author: Irving Layton
Average review score:

Layton Strikes Again!
The Improved Binoculars: Below me the city was in flames, the foremen were the first to save themselves. I saw steeples fall on their knees, lovers held short of the final spasm, their elbows held back by giant escorts of fire. .... An agent kicked the charred bodies of an orpanage to one side, marking the site carefully for a future speculation. All this I saw with my improved binoculars... This poem is the poem which gives the book its title. Very strong poem and almost makes one taste the bile rising in the throat... A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!


In an iron glove
Published in Unknown Binding by Ryerson Press ()
Author: Claire Martin
Average review score:

This is the best autobiography I have ever read!
This book is an incredible account of how one person can endure the most horrific childhood filled with fear, pain, and hate, yet come to grips with it as an adult. It is impossible not to be moved by her family life or her school years in convents. In spite of the torment, her insightful comments and remarkable humor are well worth reading.
