Corvallis Lesbian Fiction Book Group

The After 8 Book Group, also known as the Corvallis Lesbian Fiction Book Group, is open to all "Lavender Womyn." We meet in Corvallis women's homes from 7:00pm to about 9:00pm the first Thursday of every month, except July.

 

For our February meeting we're reading Memory Board by Jane Rule. This novel tells the story of a 65-year-old man who wants to re-engage with his lesbian twin sister, Diana, after a 40-year estrangement. He also expects his daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren to engage with an aunt they never knew they had. Diana is still living with her partner of 40 years, who now has Alzheimer's disease (or some form of dementia). This book gives us deep insight into that disease, without being grim, and depicts a long-term relationship that's intriguingly outside the norm.

 

For our March meeting we're reading Wild Dogs: A Novel by Helen Humphreys.
