"Text book for my class. What if Bach's 2-Part Invention format was used for a conversation between a lesbian and a gay man? Random excerpt I picked up upon purchasing it.

"I have been reading this book and I have gotten to the really interesting parts where she meets Grandfather Peyote and delves deeper into Native customs. She also uncovers interesting facts about her family history, some fierce and accomplished warriors--men and especially the women. She is trying to find her path as a teenage woman negotiating between academia and the party girl lifestyle. Geronimo!" Sep 25, 2025 10:05PM

“In short, this was a period in which the phrase ‘you’re never alone with a good book’ started to sound less like a promise and more like a threat.”
