Description
A novel of lesbian identity and motherhood, Love Me Tender explores the societal pressures that place these two aspects in opposition. Constance Debré's semi-autobiographical work chronicles her life-changing decision to leave her marriage and career to pursue a relationship with a woman. Debré's transformation is marked by a loss of status and security, as she is vilified in divorce court and loses custody of her child. Her life becomes a regime of intense writing and reading, punctuated by brief encounters with women who offer a sense of connection but also distance. Through her writing, Debré graphically describes her experiences of sex, rupture, longing, and despair. This novel is often compared to the punk-era writings of Guillaume Dustan and Herve Guibert, whose work Constance Debré has championed.
