Bad Dyke: Salacious Stories from a Queer Life

Alison Moon. Lunatic Ink, $9.99 trade paper (132p) ISBN 978-0-9838309-7-9

Moon’s (Girl Sex 101) voice is clear, frank, and refreshingly without shame as she recounts her winding and often-confusing path toward discovering her sexual identity. While at first these descriptions of vaguely connected sexual adventures and awakenings seems profoundly personal and even self-indulgent, messages quickly begin to emerge, shining a sly light on issues like bi erasure, elitism within the lesbian community, and the challenges of living with shifting and fluid sexual identities. This series of vignettes illuminates the life and path of one “dyke,” and at the same time it offers a positive example for others who are still trying to find their own voices and their own way.
