Stir-fry
Exhilerating...irreverent, and extremely funny,"- Ms. Seventeen and sure of nothing, Maria has left her parents' small-town grocery for university life in Dublin. An ad in the Student Union-"2 [FEMALE SYMBOL] seek flatmate. No bigots."-leads Maria to a home with warm Ruth and wickedly funny Jael, students who are older and more fascinating than she'd expected. A poignant, funny, and sharply insightful coming-of-age story, Stir-fry is a lesbian novel that explores the conundrum of desire arising in the midst of friendship and probes feminist ideas of sisterhood and nonpossessiveness. Emma Donoghue is the author of the forthcoming Slammerkin , Hood and Kissing the Witch . Born in Dublin, she now lives in Ontario, Canada. Stir-fry was her first novel. Also Available by Emma Donoghue Hood TP 11.95, 1-55583-453-1 CUSA

This is one of the reasons I want to Unglue LOVE LIKE GUMBO. This marvelous first novel -- a coming-out story about a young woman in Ireland in the 1980s -- is out-of-print despite Emma Donoghue's huge critical and sales success with THE ROOM. The publishing market is shy of reprinting minority subjects.
Don't think that all books by major authors stay in print, especially if they are stereotyped as "LBGT" genre fiction, i.e. not crossover books for the general public.
