Book Description

November 3, 1997
Congratulations, fellow lesbo! You have just been invited to join the award-winning nationally acclaimed theater troupe as they move from the stage to the page. With all their wit intact, they declare, "you can use this book to make you laugh, to make your friends cry, to upset your parents, to educate the uninformed, or as a coming-out tool." Exploring every aspect of lesbian life, they cover:

  • Early indications that the straight life is not your style -- from unusual encounters with Barbie to the proclivity to participate in every high school sport
  • Helpful do's and don'ts for coming out at family dinners, at weddings, and at board meetings
  • The language of lesbianism -- in an uninhibited "dyketionary"
  • How to achieve "lesbian style," the ultimate standard in American lifestyles today
  • Seduction, sex, and other tips on finding and keeping the perfect partner

Definitely proving that "laughing well is the best revenge" (Los Angeles Times), here is the most refreshing, most revealing, and raunchiest reference book ever to come out of the closet.


Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The five "brothers" are Maureen Angelos, Babs Davy, Dominique Dibbell, Peg Healey, and Lisa Kron, who have performed together as a traveling theater group for the past seven years. Readers should be aware that though this is called a "reference" book, the word "fabricated" in the description is accurate. The book is funny and particularly fine for reading aloud to significant others; the surveys designed to help you decide whether you are lesbian and, if so, what style or type you are, could easily become lesbian trivial pursuit games. But while this is a delightful book, its appeal lies with a special audience?lesbians who can laugh at themselves. Purchase where demand requires.?Pauline Klein, DeKalb Cty. P.L., Decatur, Ga.

Review

Laurie Stone Village Voice

The Five Lesbian Brothers are...inventive, lusty, and irreverent.

Ms. Magazine

The Five Lesbian Brothers woo audiences with a unique blend of raunchy camp, subversive and side-splitting dialogue, and a ton of sexual innuendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesbian Humor at it's Best, December 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Five Lesbian Brother's Guide to Life: A Collection of Helpful Hints and Fabricated Facts for Today's Gay Girl (Paperback)
This Book is Hillarious! It is sure to make all crowds laugh. Whether you need to find out how to play the lesbian board game "Coming Out on Top" or find out which type of Gay Girl you are...this is the book for you. The five lesbian brothers aren't afraid to make fun of the straight world or afraid to make fun of the gay world and all of it's stereotypes. A must read for the lesbian who needs a few laughs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Gay!, December 27, 2008
This review is from: The Five Lesbian Brother's Guide to Life: A Collection of Helpful Hints and Fabricated Facts for Today's Gay Girl (Paperback)
I'm not really a lesbian but I still enjoyed the Guide to Life. I give it to all my lesbian friends, who love it. As with any book like this, it relies on some tropes of lesbian humour, but will also have you lyfao with it's sophisticated and incisive comedic stylings.
