Product Description

Review

'A must-read book about the must-see lesbian sex drama that everybody loves but some love to hate.' --Jane Feuer 'Interesting and provocative.'- TLS


Product Description

"The L Word" captured international attention when it first appeared on American screens in January 2004. The groundbreaking primetime drama from Showtime is about a group of lesbian and bisexual friends living and loving in Los Angeles, and challenges traditional notions of relationships, queer life styles, gender identities, race and ethnicity and sex and sexuality. "Reading the L Word" is the first book about this television phenomenon. With an introduction by Sarah Warn, the founder of premier lesbian entertainment website, AfterEllen.com, and a foreword by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, the collection brings together leading academics, feminist critics, scholars and award-winning journalists to discuss "The L Word". There is also a complete episode guide, as well as a series of interviews with the actors Erin Daniels, Katherine Moennig, and the writer, Guinevere Turner. Analytical, often humorous and sometimes provocative, "Reading the L Word" uncovers what makes this show both so compelling and groundbreaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars More serious but just as fun, 21 Mar 2006
Unlike the sister book on the L word this one has no pictures whatsoever. Instead it is a series of articles by academics, and journalists on the phenomenon that is the L word. Again a good book to dip in and out of its interesting to read about the L word in context of the political climate that we're in. Its also important to understand the debates about visability and invisability of lesbianism. There is an interesting article on whether the L word has taken off in the UK or not one of the major problems with that is not everyone has cable/sky and therefore has to wait for the DVD's to se it! Having said that its a good enjoyable read and has interviews with the actresses and links to various fansites.
