Description
-
A “grown-up lesbian adventure story”, according to New Zealand’s feminist magazine ‘Broadsheet’. Part murder mystery, part tale of psychological development, part love story, it describes lesbian feminist Kat Rogan’s journey from Chicago to the fictional Latin American country of Marigua. Rogan spends time in prison, solves the case and also comes to terms with the dominant and submissive sides of her personality. The book was criticised by some reviewers for exoticising South America and failing to engage with the politics of the region. Camarin Grae (1941-), author of ‘Paz’ (1984) and ‘Soul Snatcher’ (1985), among other works, was the owner of Blazon Books – this was their first title.
