Description
After Sappho: A Novel by Selby Wynn Schwartz A luminous and invigorating tale of women forging queer identities and claiming their right to life, set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century. In this captivating debut novel, the lives of three women - each with her own unique story - intersect and diverge in unexpected ways. Through cascading vignettes, Schwartz explores themes of creativity, education, and identity, weaving a rich tapestry of voices and experiences that converge and splinter as these women forge their paths. A meditation on the power of self-expression and the pursuit of one's passions, After Sappho announces a writer of great ingenuity and courage. A splendid and deeply moving novel, praised by Lucy Ellmann for its "impish, irate, deep, courageous" portrayal of women breaking free from convention.
