1962. Robert McGinnis painted the cover for the initial Gold Medal paperback release of Ann Bannon's novel BEEBO BRINKER, last in a series of six lesbian pulp novels. (Although it's last in the series, it takes place before most of the others.)

For the readers out there, I recently read The Price of Salt (Carol) by Patricia Highsmith and it left me thirsty for more! So, I have now started a collection of Lesbian Pulp Fiction, which is, I have to say, amazing! The cover art alone is magnificent! I can't help but imagine every lesbian character as Cate Blanchett in Carol (testament to how well she played her *ahem* part!) but that's not a bad thing. Here are some I'm adding to my reading list, any suggestions are welcome. To you, I suggest any of Ann Bannon's books... GO READ!

My List:

A Woman's Woman by Toni Adler

I Am a Woman, In Love With a Woman by Ann Bannon

I Prefer Girls by Jessie Dumont

Spring Fire by Vin Packer

The Third Street by Joan Ellis

The Girls In 3-B by Valerie Taylor

Three Women by March Hastings

Twilight Girls by Sherry Dale

Women's Barracks By Tereska Torres

[quotation--marks]

Beebo folded it with the meticulous care you give to the oddments of life that happen to be in your hands when pain strikes; each fold careful, straight, and neat - as tidy as her life was not. There is an obscure comfort in smoothing a small piece of paper to its ultimate neatness. It seems a symbol of order and reason that must somehow rescue you from the chaos of suffering. It eased the misery that wants to pour out of your eyes and wail from your throat. 

Ann Bannon, Beebo Brinker

See my previous post, but while I was down in Lewes, Delaware, I ended up going to the new life thrift shop and I picked up three books for $1.50. Here they are! 

The Ann Bannon collection includes her novels: Odd girl out, I am a woman, women in the shadows, and Beebo Brinker. 

I included the back covers, so you can read the synopses of each book if you zoom in, but I’m not gonna transcribe all of it. It’s just too much words. 

(Note I am blogging this without doing a Google check to find out if George Saunders or Ann Bannon have said or done something problematic. FYI)
