Older Queer Works Book Bracket: Round 1C
Choose a book:
Rubyfruit Jungle (1973) by Rita Mae Brown
Chloe Plus Olivia: Anthology of Lesbian Lit from the 17thC to the Present (1994)
Book summaries below:
reading the negative reviews for rubyfruit jungle is so funny because most of them are just people outraged that it discusses taboo topics in a way that trusts the reader to come to their own conclusions. like man what happened to the queer community?? if it was more acceptable you'd be having this book and anything like it banned for degeneracy. what happened to engaging with a work on its own terms why do we need the narrator to do an aside and say BY THE WAY INCEST IS BAD! any time it comes up?? read the fucking text. make your own conclusions.
I finished Rubyfruit Jungle yesterday. I sobbed and cried for 15 minutes after. The main character of Rubyfruit Jungle's relationship with her mother is just so relatable. The insurmountable gap between parent and child, that uncrossable distance, and the deep despair that lives in that gap. The unfixable misunderstandings, the bitterness, the unconditional love that of course always comes with conditions. The barrier between parent and (queer, eccentric, lesbian, artistic, left-leaning politically, outspoken, unapologetic) child that can never be bridged, it broke my heart to read. I think many queer eccentrics can relate to this kind of relationship with their parents.
Molly, the main character of Rubyfruit Jungle, is very sexually liberated. Over the course of the book, she has sex with some men, and many women. When discussing how Molly describes the women she is attracted to, I said to a friend "It's very 'r/menwritingwomen'." Molly describes the boobs of every woman in the book. But Rubyfruit Jungle is written by a woman! It's refreshing to have the sexualization and objectification of women be done by a woman for once.
Rubyfruit Jungle was published in 1973. Another iconic lesbian novel (though both of these books are more then any label), that I read this year is Stone Butch Blues, which was published in 1993. It's really fascinating to be part of the queer community now (in 2026) and to get these glimpses into what the queer community was like back then. I feel like a big takeaway, after thinking about these 3 views (me, in 2026) (rita mae brown, in 1973), and (leslie feinberg, in 1993), is that the queer community is nowhere near a monolith. Every queer person is so unique, and every queer perspective and story is so multifaceted - and they can contradict each other. It makes me want to read more queer lit!!! So that I can connect my own story to the past, especially during this time where the current backslide into conservatism tries to lie to and say that queer identities are "new" or "made up" or "wrong."

Present from my father which he got for me in the states!
“in school they told us that the president was the best man in the whole country but i knew my father was the best man in the whole country; the country didn’t know it, that’s all.”
