Many a confident urban lesbian in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago was once a wide-eyed newcomer. Every year thousands of young women arrive in these queer-friendly cities, seduced by downtown life and its erotic possibilities. In Where the Girls Are, D.L. King collects explicit memoirs and stories about these newly arrived country girls. Here are stories of first times, initiations, bars, dance clubs, and parties, reading (or misreading) the codes - and sometimes teaching those city girls a thing or two in the process.

Cosa è stata questa "cosa" sfuggente, multiforme ed entusiasmante avvenuta in Europa tra il 1989 e oggi - una cosa lunga dunque un quarto di secolo? Proprio dalla consapevolezza che nessun dato potrà mai avvicinarsi al significato profondo del rave, del trovarsi lì, a ballare davanti a un muro di casse fino al mattino (e sovente fino a quello ancora successivo) è nato questo libro - perché, sia pure con una forte impronta documentale, in casi come questo il romanzo è il più potente strumento di analisi e rappresentazione della realtà.

Dans la sombre Édimbourg des années 1990, Renton le malin, Sick Boy l'ambitieux, Franco le sociopathe, Spud l'égaré et Tommy l'innocent partagent tout : les petites combines, l'assurance-chômage et la drogue, sous toutes ses formes. Entre deux pintes, après un fix ou une baston, ils racontent la violence d'un quotidien misérable dominé par la rage. Une rage qui les anime tous. La rage de vivre.

"Quand Mercurio s'était jeté dans le canal, Giuditta avait eu la tentation de le retenir. Ou de s'y jeter avec lui. Elle ne voulait pas renoncer à la sensation de sa main dans la sienne.

Il n'était pas prêtre, il le lui avait avoué. Quels mots avait-il dits en sautant du bateau ? Elle se souvenait à peine. Sa tête se faisait légère. 'Je te retrouverai', voilà ce qu'il avait dit."

It’s October in Montreal, 2002, and winter is coming on fast. Past due on his first freelance gig and ensnared in lies to his family and friends, a graphic design student with a gambling addiction goes after the first job that promises a paycheck: dishwasher at the sophisticated La Trattoria.

My name is Salvador Rosas. Back in the barrio, my past is written on the walls: ESHB. Short for East Side Hollenbeck, my father's gang - my gang.

Now I've got nothing going for me except a hipster gringo mentoring me in a new career. An ex-con making craft beer? No mames. Still, people in this neighborhood look out for one another.

Non si può mettere in mezzo la poesia per attenuare il suono dei cadaveri che scricchiolano sotto le scarpe.» L'Istria è un luogo meraviglioso per passarci le vacanze.
