A wonderful hybrid of post-modern genre-bending and conventional narrative - an exploration of a state of mind rather than a description of events. This work deals with subjects as varied as memory; rewriting notions of history; erotic latitude; the blurred border between sleep, dream and reality; isolation; loss; pleasure and change.

Praise for Sub-Rosa & Other Fiction:

"Most contemporary English-language works of lesbian fiction trace their lineage either to Radclyffe Hall's straightforward realism or to Djuna Barnes's opaque modernism; following the latter, and imprinted by French post-structuralist feminism, Bennett's text extends the lesbian experimental tradition. ... The women characters who enthrall Bennett's narrators both inspire the text and grace it. But they are not captured in fixed representations. If anything, they are invoked with intimate rhapsodies, to whose lyrical intensity readers are fortunate to be privy." (Jodi Lundgren, Plenitude)
