A lesbian storyteller meets urban wilderness. Coyote’s tales of life as an out dyke on the roads and trails of the North as well as rural America are rich in plainspoken, honest truths. In this third story collection, Ivan E. Coyote focuses her attention on the city: urban life, specifically in the East of Vancouver, as diverse a neighbourhood of all types – old, young, gay, straight, white, black, Asian – communing at local coffee bars over hot rods, the art of skinny-dipping and changes in the weather. Coyote presides over this circus of activities with her cool gaze, whether it’s trying to impress the woman with the hot tub next door or showing her mother how to use a cordless drill. This is the world of being out, open and unafraid; it’s also in which no ghettos – racial, cultural, or defined by sexuality or gender – exist. With the calm, observant eye of a master storyteller, Ivan E. Coyote shows readers how to break free of the rigours of authority and be true to themselves.
