Dreadful...but a friend wrote a short story in each of the Naiad collections so I felt compelled to read them.

There were a few stories that were okay, a bunch of stories that I thought were mostly silly in their earnestness, and then there were two stories that I could barely finish reading: the one by Isabel Miller and the one by Robbi Sommers. The back cover says "....Such as the incomparable Isabel Miller. Enjoy her intricate tale of women who journey beyond fantasy and illusion to the essential nature of butch and femme..." Incomparable? Well, I guess she's incomparable only if they mean no one else compares as badly as she does. At least they didn't write anything about Robbi Sommers on the back cover. Her depiction of butch and femme is very offensive to me. I hate the way the writers of the butch/femme thing believe that their butch characters have to have the worst characteristics of men. We don't accept chauvinistic behavior from men, so why is it ok when butch dykes do it? Answer: it's not! I remember buying one of Robbi Sommers's books many years ago and absolutely hating it. I don't remember what the title was, or even what it was about. I just remember it was pretty much unreadable, and I either gave it away or threw it away because I don't have it any more. If it wasn't for her story, I might've given this book three stars.
