I reread After Delores when Arsenal Pulp Press released a new edition of it in 2013. I'm looking forward to reading Sarah Schulman's newest book, Empathy. She gets caught up in thrilling events which carry the plot quickly along to a satisfactory end. We never learn the name of the woman who suffers and tells this tale, but we're intimate with her bewilderment, her pain, and her struggle to regain balance in her life.
We feel her intense grief, her longing for revenge and her undying obsession for Delores. It is written with warmth and acute perception.ĭelores abruptly leaves the central character for another woman, and this story tells the aftermath. This is a side of lesbian life I've not often seen in fiction. On the other hand, if you enjoy reading about emotion, you'll find heaps of it among the working class poor of Lower East Side New York City. If you get depressed reading about people who are down in their luck, stay away. (The following review first appeared in the May/June 1993 edition of Womonspace News in Edmonton.)
