Best Lesbian Erotica 1998

Celebrating sexy, literate queer writing, Best Lesbian Erotica features the steamiest, most thought-provoking sexual writing of each year. Guest judges selected from the queer literary world select and introduce the collections, which represent a wide range of styles and voices. The series is edited by Tristan Taormino. Best Lesbian Erotica 1997 is selected and introduced by guest editor Jenifer Levin, author of Water Dancer and The Sea of Light. "There's a new generation of queer women writing unabashedly about the truth, pain, and fun of the queer sexual experience-in all its variety, its surprising twists and turns, its rich psychological depth," writes Levin. "These gals are not afraid to just go out and get it. And when opportunity rears its pretty head, they tend to ask 'Why not?!' instead of 'Why?' Ah. The calling card of youth"
