In November, Lambda Literary News reviewed Verge, the first novel by Z Egloff, published earlier this year (and featured in our August newsletter). The verdict? A book that begins quietly before picking up pace and “sweeping the reader up in a whirlwind.” To read the review, click here. And look out for another mention in December’s issue of Curve.
Lesbian fantasy meets lesbian nightmare: nuns!! Not a bad description of Z. Egloff’s Verge. Sure, it’s the story of Claire McMinn, barely sober Don Juanita, promising young filmmaker, but mostly it’s the story of resistance and surrender. Claire struggles to resist the lure of Sister Hilary at the neighborhood community center, but from their first encounter readers have to wonder how long before surrender. How might that surrender manifest itself and what could it possibly accomplish? Could telling a nun how you feel ever result in a happy ending?
