| Inspired
by the lesbian pulp books of the 1950s, Suki Lee's debut reclaims the territory
for the modern woman. Narrated across continents, Sapphic Traffic is
a provocative collection of twenty short stories told in the tradition
of the confessional. A Jamaican drug deal is a catalyst for the unthinkable.
Lucid dreams spill over into the enclosed world of a psych ward. An isolated
beach is the setting for a desperate act of love. An opera diva becomes
the focus of obsession. Parisian streets are the backdrop for hallucinogenic
lust.
Filled with desire and longing but not trapped by them, Suki Lee's characters skirt the mundane realities of life and revel in walking the fault line between the private and the public woman.
