Origami Striptease by Peggy Munson; Suspect Thoughts Press, $16.95

The violently poetic novel explores the complexities of desire, disability, gender, lust and love from a disabled queer femme's narrative. The narrator's voice is strong through the waves of illness that embody the lyrics of her iambic prose. Munson forces the reader into the narrator's world, stifled in the limitations of her body, illness, and desire for boys: butches, ->-bleeped-<-boys, and daddies who force her to succumb to erotic passions.
