Seller's Description:
Rekosh, Jana. Near Fine. Book 1st edition, October 1990, so stated 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Page edges lightly soiled else a near fine copy of this Paperback Original. Lambda Literary Award Winner for Lesbian Mystery. Gaudi Afternoon, was made into a film directed by Susan Seidelman in 2001 starring Judy Davis, Marcia Gay Harden, Lili Taylor and Juliette Lewis. "As in The Dog Collar Murders, Wilson exploits the mystery genre to explore a feminist perspective on timely subjects--here, gender roles and child custody. Professional translator Cassandra Reilly turns amateur sleuth when Frankie Stevens needs someone fluent in Spanish to accompany her to Barcelona to locate her estranged husband Ben, who has disappeared. However, Cassandra soon learns that very little is what it seems. Frankie and Ben aren't separated, they're divorced. Moreover, Ben (actually Bernadette) isn't an ex-husband, but an ex-wife: Frankie is a transsexual. The bone of contention between them is their daughter Delilah. Ben fled to Spain to escape the problems of their joint custody arrangement and because, now that Frankie is female, she wants to be Delilah's mother too. " PW Barbara Wilson is the pen name of Barbara Sjoholm, an American writer, editor, publisher, and translator. She co-founded two publishing companies: Seal Press and Women in Translation Press.
