Rough Trade

by Red Jordan Arobateau

A collection of shorter work by lesbian literary sensation Red Jordan Arobateau. Famous for her unflinching portrayal of lower-class dyke life and love, Arobateau outdoes herself with these tales of butch/femme affairs and unrelenting passions. Unapologetic and distinctly non-homogenized, Rough Trade is a must for all fans of challenging lesbian literature.

Reviews

[Bryn · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had great expectations. Kind of hot, kind of unreadable.
