Description

Greasepaint by Hannah Levene is set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s New York. This experimental novel brings together an ensemble cast of all-singing, all-dancing butch dykes and Yiddish anarchists in a whirlwind of music and politics.

The story unfolds around eternal Friday nights, at bars where characters like Frankie Gold sing while Sammy Silver plays piano after work. The Butch Piano Players Union meets in one corner, while others gather for dinner at Marg's. Fabulated from oral histories, anthologies, and the fiction of the butch-femme bar scene and Yiddish anarchist tradition, Greasepaint is a dynamic exploration of community.
