With Her Body (Conversation Pieces, Volume 2) [Paperback]

Nicola Griffith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2004 | Series: Conversation Pieces

This volume was a finalist for the 2004 Lambda award.
What are these three intense stories about? Hope, joy, the body; mainly joy and the body-- feeling the world on our skin, which is the where Us and Not-Us meet. Nicola Griffith writes about being as well as doing-- about life and love and the fears that keep us from having what we want. About feeling stuff and making decisions, not sitting at home like a passive lump.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Haunting, fiercely women-oriented tales of lesbians making their way in one world or another. --Carol Seajay, Books to Watch Out For

An atypical collection of science fiction, and those who are turned off by epic sci-fi shouldn't hesitate to pick up this volume. It is intimate, sexy, and rich with good old-fashioned storytelling. That sounds like joy to me. --AfterEllen.com, November 18, 2004

I enjoyed the stories. They were moving and thoughtful with protagonists making difficult choices. It's well worth reading and Aqueduct shipped the book quickly. I wish the author would write another novel, BTW. Hint hint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A luscious sampler, August 8, 2011

As always I immersed myself in the lush, enticing prose with which Nicola Griffith paints each story. These shorts were each unique and satisfying. Few authors can captivate my senses in the same manner, and I willingly yield.
"Yaguara" felt almost mythical.
