Unnatural Dykes to Watch Out for

A candid look at the tormented urgings and forbidden passions of women who have strayed far beyond the bounds of decent society. Enter the twisted, twilight world of "Unnatural Dykes to Watch Out For." This is Bechdel's sixth sordid collection, her candid cartoon exposé of contemporary lesbian life. While the book's lurid cover suggests who some of our crowd - Clarice, Lois, MO and Toni - might have been if they had appeared in the lesbian pulps of the 1950s, we can read the true story of their lives - when they were young some fifteen years ago - in a novella created especially for this book. Alison Bechdel continues to cross over the line into the forbidden works that keep us reading.
