DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, October 30th, 3pm at Borderlands Books, Jewelle Gomez celebrates 
 The Gilda Stories: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition recently published by 
 City Lights.  Jewelle is available for interview and we can expedite a copy 
 of the book to you now.  Last night, Jewelle received a Barbary Coast Award 
 from Litquake for lifetime achievement!  Borderlands Books is located at 
 866 Valencia in San Francisco. \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
