Isabel Miller Livres
Isabel Miller, pseudonyme d'Alma Routsong, était une romancière américaine célébrée pour ses contributions à la fiction lesbienne. Son œuvre explore les thèmes de l'amour, de l'identité et des contraintes sociales, souvent à travers le regard de protagonistes féminines captivantes. La prose distinctive de Miller et son approche narrative créent des histoires profondément émouvantes sur les relations et la découverte de soi. Son roman le plus acclamé, initialement publié en 1969, est devenu une pierre angulaire de la littérature lesbienne, soulignant l'héritage durable de sa voix littéraire.

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.
