A nuanced reading of contemporary literary and cinematic texts from India and its diaspora, this work traces the histories of the 'un(familiar)' lesbian in the homophobic realm around us. Focusing on representations and legacies of such femininities, the author shows how female same-sex socialities and female same-sex love straddle terrains both familiar and unfamiliar, arguing that homosexuality and heterosexuality are not in opposition but in a state of constant dialogue with each other.

Features
- The book is a serious, scholarly, nuanced consideration of a frontier area not only for LGBTQ readers, but also for
- a feminist-gender-aware audience. Due to its topicality, the book is likely to generate great interest among general readers. Highly readable, this book will attract a readership with an interest in contemporary culture.
