Krátky popis
'I have quite changed my mind. I am going to run away and become a
boy.'In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the
pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the
brink of a sexual awakening - accompanied by guns, whips, and
worldly innuendo. A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become 'a
virago', until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up
as her male lover.A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by
his father's mistress. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to
kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought
she wanted. 'Alice', she tells herself, 'be a man.'Barnes makes
gender and desire seem slippery and joyful - and makes the
fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time.
