Bertha Harris’s 1976 novel Lover tells the adventurous story of a community of lesbians who unite to teach one of their own to become a lover in every sense of the word. By healing Flynn and showing her how to cherish the various aspects of herself, these characters show readers that by embracing creative potential, women can find a way to remain whole and inscribe their subjectivity in a dangerous world—a world in which dividing and dissecting both the female body and the female psyche are authorized and endorsed by religious and philosophical traditions. Although the novel is focused on the experiences of a lesbian who learns to love, the themes in this book apply to any reader interested in understanding the human experience of finding oneself and realizing one’s potential, whether that be as a lesbian, as a woman, or as a lover. Appartient à la série éditorialeListes notables
A landmark work of lesbian literature, Lover was first published in 1972 by the now-defunct feminist press, Daughters, to tremendous critical acclaim. Emerging out of the women's and gay liberation movement alongside the early work of such writers as Rita Mae Brown and Jill Johnston, the novel features fictional and historical characters who run the gamut from saint to poor white trash, and who are by turn vulnerable and strong. One of the finest examples of early post-Stonewall lesbian fiction, Lover is poised to entice a new generation of readers. In this new edition, Harris reintroduces her work, providing engaging background on the cultural and personal milieu in which it was produced and painting a scathing and witty picture of the book's original publisher. Revealing the real-life personalities behind some of the novel's characters, the introduction is an amusing retrospective sure to entertain those who remember the heady post-Stonewall days, and to enlighten younger readers.
