Customer Reviews

Good coverage

I take my hat off to the openess and honesty of the many writers in this collection. But the book is worth buying just to read the first essay by Jungian Analyst, Robert Johnson, on his trip(s)to India--it is a masterpiece.

Stunning and Sophisticated

Hopcke and Carrington have edited a groundbreaking collection of articles exploring the vicissitudes of same sex love. This book dares to listen to marginalized voices, and presents this subject with subtle and poetic mastery. Anyone who has ever loved passionately with all their many selves will enjoy this book.
