Product Description

Review
"'The Wrestling Party' is a delicious memoir, a coming-of-age story that took a long time coming and. apparently, was worth every second! Full of lust and longing, rock and roll, obsession, old fashioned drunken trashiness, pill-popping New Age girls and plenty of sweaty slam-downs. 'The Wrestling Party' is a hot ticket."--Pleasant Gehman author of "Escape From Houdini Mountain," and "Princess Of Hollywood"

4.0 out of 5 stars Lesbian Memoir, 28 Jan 2009
By M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Firstly, I'm probably not the ideal person to write a review for this book as I am a heterosexual male. I stumbled across this more or less by accident, and thought why not give it a go. I was surprised to see that there wasn't already a review here for this.

Reading this I got the impression that some of this has already been published before in articles, and also the chronological sequence of events isn't always in the order that you would expect. Despite these problems it does seem to work though, as you are given something that is fresh and slightly surreal. So the fact that it seems to be cobbled together actually enhances the work. If you are expecting lots of sex and erotica then you will be disappointed, as this is a collection of anecdotes and reportage. With its journalistic approach this can appear more of a critique of modern living in the lesbian world.

I personally enjoyed this book and I'm glad that I decided to read it. It has it's comic moments, Shawna Blackwell's account of the wrestling party and, more direct observations on life. This book has probably got something for everyone in it and would make a good book for a reading group, so don't write it off; you may find yourself drawn in, like I was. I must admit I would like to see a lesbian's review of this book, to see what they thought of it. This memoir is definely mainstream and should be enjoyed by people of all sexual orientations.
