4.0 out of 5 stars
Luscious collection with a few hesitations, December 22, 2001
This review is from: Witness to the League of Blond Hip Hop Dancers (Paperback)
Starring an assortment of black lesbian dancers, this collection of stories maps the styles and moves of these women as they pour their passions out through their bodies. The plots vary from story to story, but Allegra's lush writing style stays strong, although in a couple of stories it's muted when the story stretches past its limits, but the energy picks up again by the time the title novella is reached. It is this passion in the women's lives though that lingers with the reader, whether it's passion for the rhythms, passion for another woman, or passion for what dancing can evoke in spectators or dancers. Allegra whets the reader's appetite with these tales, and leaves us breathless for more.
