Honey Mine: Collected Stories

Honey Mine: Collected Stories

And then look at the description…

Honey Mine unfolds as both excavation and romp, an adventure story that ushers readers into a lesbian writer’s coming of age through disorienting, unsparing, and exhilarating encounters with sex, gender, and distinctly American realities of race and class. From childhood in Chicago’s South Side to youth in the lesbian underground, Roy’s politics find joyful and transgressive expression in the liberatory potential of subculture. Find here, in these new, uncollected and out-of-print fictions by a master of New Narrative, a record of survival and thriving under conditions of danger.

…wait, what? (h/t RK)

Why awaken The Disney with something that isn’t even closely related?

Why bother at all when you’re not going to put forth any effort?

I wonder why Bambi has eight legs, wings, and antennae

I assume that it’s supposed to be symbolic, although symbolic of WHAT I have no idea (“Lesbians are like a mutant cross between a deer, a spider, and a housefly that will haunt your nightmares forever” is probably NOT what the designer was going for).

haha, yeah. But it could also mean, “If I do weird shit to Bambi I’ve altered the original work enough to skate on the copyright laws” (Pretty sure Disney would disagree)

Word-salad social justice jargon mixed with subversive art AND a boring overall treatment. This cover is actually GOOD, dare I say, as it is as fractured in its identity and purpose as I imagine the author herself seems to be.

The editors not only put their names on the cover they think they can copyright their editing!

Hmm, I think I’ll change around a few commas and restructure a sentence or two of the US Constitution. Then I’ll sue the government for infringing on my “edit” copyright with their silly original work.

OhMyGod, Disney is going to go bats**t when they see this and read the description. I’m glad I’m not the one in the path of the Litigator of Destruction and Ruin.

Yeah, I don’t know why either.
