Reviews of OUTLANDER from the back of the book
"In the Outlander stories, Jane Rule evokes a startling variety of lesbian lives with the sure-handed artistry that readers have come to expect from her work. In the essays following, she analyzes lesbian and gay concerns with a tough independence of mind that makes the true 'outlander.'" -- Harriet Desmoines and Catherine Nicholson (Co-founders of Sinister...

Better than Most
I liked the essays better than the short stories...just my natural preference for nonfiction over fiction. There is considerable variety of lesbian lives portrayed and the stroies are interesting enough and written well enough to encourage me to try another.

"In the Outlander stories, Jane Rule evokes a startling variety of lesbian lives with the sure-handed artistry that readers have come to expect from her work. In the essays following, she analyzes lesbian and gay concerns with a tough independence of mind that makes the true 'outlander.'"-- Harriet Desmoines and Catherine Nicholson (Co-founders of Sinister Wisdom) "These stories constitute together a powerful investigation into the many varieties of love between and among women. Jane Rule looks with a seasoned eye at the passions and pecadillos of lesbians, in twos, threes, and more. The combinations shift like patterns in a kaleidoscope, enlarging and deepening our understanding of what is possible among women. The essays reveal the author's broad intelligence and balanced good sense on a number of subjects, some of them surprising. Thanks to her for a rich collection, written (as she herself has described her relationship to her characters) with 'tenderness, severity and humor.'" -- Sandy Boucher The Naiad Press, Inc. 1981. 207 pp. |
