Have you read Ohne Rauch gehts auch - oder wie frau auch ohne Zigarette eine Liebeserklärung aussprechen kann (Works also without smoke - or how a woman can make a love confession without a cigarette) by Gerd Brantenberg (1988)?
YES
NO
Anne og Anne er kjærester og nå skal de hjem å fortelle det. Tekst: «Anne og Anne kommer hjem til jul» av Gerd Brantenberg
I want to share this story about coming home, and coming out, for Christmas, first published in 1981 by the Norwegian Lesbian author Gerd Brantenberg. It is sweet, optimistic, and filled with humor!
The author has written several short stories about the couple Anne and Anne, some of them have been published, and others have been read out to larger or smaller gatherings. Of the stories about this couple that I am familiar with, this must be my favourite.
It should be intelligible not only if you understand Norwegian, but also if you understand Swedish and/or Danish. If you don't know any of these languages know that in this case you're really missing out!
However I can also direct you to some of her more well known books, like "What comes naturally" (original title "opp alle jordens homofile") which is translated by Brantenberg herself, and follows a young woman growing into her lesbianism during the 60s. She has also written the humorous "Egalia's daughters" about an upside-down society where women are in power. While mostly a social satire about the world from which feminism (or here masculinism) rose, it also touches upon homosexuality as welll! (if you liked the french movie je ne suis un homme facil/i am not an easy man or for that matter the barbie movie, you might enjoy how this book takes the world building to a much greater extent)
I implore you to listen to this story, or at least check out this author, she is really worth a read!
do you have any favourite lesbian (especially gnc lesbians) book/film etc characters? Or any recommendations for lesbian books?
hmmm I am not so certain I have any favourite fictional lesbians, but I do have som lesbian books to recommend! 1. another mother tongue: gay words gay worlds by judy grahn is my go to book to recommend, i really really love it (although it took two attempts for me to be able to read it). talks about gay (and especially lesbian) culture not only in the US in the period of the 60s to 80s, but also across history and the world. I found it a very grounding book to read as it talk about the position of the homosexual in society in a way which really spoke to me.
2. what comes naturally by gerd brantenberg a book about being a lesbian during the 1960s in Norway, slightly distant and ironic, but also really funny narrator. My favourite scene is when she enters the secret gay society (based on a real organisation) for the very first time.
3. wherever is your heart by anita kelley for something easy and sweet about two adult butches falling in love.
