Böcker utgivna av Aunt Lute Books

"Doll Seed is a collection of speculative short fiction. The stories span horror, fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism, but are always grounded in very real characters and finely rendered, distinctive communities. Thematically linked often by the lives of women and girls, especially women of color and their experiences of vulnerability and outsider status, these stories are playful and provocative. A Black family in the 1970s Bronx plays host to an alien child. An aspiring jewelry artist is haunted by a fast food icon. A doll finds herself in 1950s America playing a key role in the Civil Rights Movement. A meat grinder appears in a magical forest and chaos ensues"--

Fiction. LGBT Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. GULF DREAMS is the story of a Chicana who comes of age in a racist, rural Texas town. Through memory, the protagonist reexamines her unresolved obsessive love for a young woman, her best friend since childhood. A powerful, gripping, and disturbing story of passion and betrayal, survival and vengeance, compulsion and resilience, told in arresting images and fragmented, dreamlike narrative--Teresa de Lauretis, professor of History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz. This amalgam of life history, creative nonfiction, psychoanalytic treatise and fictionalized memoirs is a welcome addition to queer literature--Gloria Anzaldua, author of BORDERLANDS.
