Isabel Miller Knihy
Isabel Miller, pseudonym Alma Routsong, bola americká spisovateľka známa predovšetkým svojou lesbickou fikciou. Jej tvorba sa zameriava na skúmanie tém lásky, identity a spoločenských noriem prostredníctvom silných ženských postáv. Miller vyniká svojím lyrickým štýlom a schopnosťou vytvárať hlboko dojímavé príbehy o vzťahoch a hľadaní samého seba. Jej najznámejší román, prvýkrát vydaný v roku 1969, sa stal pilierom lesbickej literatúry, čo svedčí o trvalom vplyve jej písania.

Set in the nineteenth century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White, a painter, and Sarah Dowling, a farmer, whose romantic bond does not sit well with the puritanical New England farming community in which they live. Ultimately, they are forced to make life-changing decisions that depend on their courage and their commitment to one another.First self-published in 1969 (titled A Place for Us) in an edition of 1,000 copies, the author hand-sold the book on New York street corners; it garnered increasing attention to the point of receiving the American Library Association's first Gay Book Award in 1971. McGraw-Hill's version of the book a year later brought it to mainstream bookstores across the country.Patience & Sarah is a historical romance whose drama was a touchstone for the burgeoning gay and women's activism of the 1960s and early 1970s. It celebrates the joys of an uninhibited love between two strong women with a confident defiance that remains relevant today.Features an appendix of supplementary materials about Patience & Sarah and the author, as well as an introduction by acclaimed novelist Emma Donoghue.
Die Autorin des Klassikers „Patience & Sarah“ präsentiert eine wunderbare Liebesgeschichte aus den bewegten sechziger Jahren: Patricia und Sharon wachsen zusammen auf, werden aufgrund ihrer „unnatürlichen“ Liebe zueinander getrennt und treffen sich als junge Frauen, geprägt von Vietnam-Protest, Flower Power und schwullesbischem Aufbruch, in New York wieder.
Mit hinreissenden Witz erzählt die Autorin am Geschick der verschüchterten Trude, die zur pfiffigen Gertrude wird, die Geschichte vieler Frauen.
