At Lit Hub White tagged "five novels I love that tell the story of queer domestic life." One title on the list:
Spent by Alison BechdelRead about the other entries on the list at Lit Hub.
In this year of grief, of worries and losses piling up for queer people, especially trans people, Bechdel delivered unto us a gift. In Spent Bechdel parts the curtains on the most delightful literary household in recent memory. Each panel is a two-dimensional diorama depicting the habits of that fascinating creature, the New England lesbian. There is visceral pleasure in the recognition, the familiarity, and the gentle teasing; an intimacy that is familiar yet foreign enough to sate my nearly infinite curiosity about the private lives of strangers. Other people’s bedrooms, indeed.
--Marshal Zeringue
