Love in the Twilight: Exploring the World of Lesbian Pulp Fiction
Twilight passions, queer pairings, and forbidden love. In honour of Lesbian Visibility Week, come and celebrate the strange and wonderful world of lesbian pulp fiction! This successful genre of commercial fiction flourished from the 1950s to the 1960s, giving lesbians and bisexual women a chance to see their own lives reflected in the literature- however tragically and imperfectly.
Denyse Rodrigues and Terrah Keener discuss this fascinating literary phenomenon, with selected readings given from real pulp fiction novels. We will also show clips from the classic Canadian documentary Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives. Tea, coffee, and refreshments will be served.
