DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday, April 13th, 7pm at City Lights Bookstore, Jewelle Gomez 
 celebrates The Gilda Stories: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition just 
 published by City Lights.  \n\nThis remarkable novel begins in 1850s 
 Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while 
 working in a brothel. After being  initiated into eternal life as one who 
 "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years 
 searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was 
 first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously 
 prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, 
 redefinitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire 
 story.  Publishers Weekly says, "its focus on a black lesbian who possesses 
 considerable agency througout the centuries, and its commentary on gender 
 and race, remain significant and powerful."\n\nEmma Donoghue, author of 
 Room, says, "The Gilda Stories is groundbreaking not just for the wild 
 lives it portrays, but for how it portrays them—communally, 
 unapologetically, roaming fiercely over space and time."\n\nThe 25th 
 anniversary edition contains a new foreword by Jewelle Gomez reflecting on 
 the publication history. \n\n
