After Delores

"Hilarious, hard-core . . . makes "Bright Lights, Big City" and "Less Than Zero" seem thin and dated."--"Publishers Weekly" A new edition of Sarah Schulman's acclaimed 1988 novel, a noirish tale about a no-nonsense coffee-shop waitress in New York who is nursing a broken heart after her girlfriend Dolores leaves her; her attempts to find love again are funny, sexy, and ultimately even violent. "After Delores" is a fast-paced, electrifying chronicle of the Lower East Side's lesbian subculture in the 1980s. Sarah Schulman's previous books include "Empathy," "Rat Bohemia," "The Child," and "The Gentrification of the Mind."
