Inhaltsangabe

Snack Blabbeth began in August of 1997, when we decided to form a writing group that would allow us to concentrate on the integrity of our writing without having to defend our identities or censor the content of our stories. We participate in a community of dykes, queers, and transgender people who are committed to documenting our progress as part of an important literary and artistic movement that does away with confining notions of gender and sexuality. We teach and learn from each other, and Snack Blabbeth keeps us off the streets and out of debtor’s prison. Writing is something we can always do together for free.

In this collection, you’ll read free-writes, poems, and stories that capture a metamorphosis of culture. In Snack Blabbeth, it is not uncommon for one of us to write a story where a character is not only a wife, but also a bride; who’s at once a boy, a heartbreaker, a ghost, but really what tradition calls female. That ambiguity does not bother us. We are only concerned with the clarity of the pronoun presentation and the integrity of the character development.

The writing in this collection is deeply tender, funny, and socially and politically reflective. The combination of playfulness and dead-seriousness in the language of these pieces mimics that same mixture of intentions thematically, in our various reconstructions of gender, comfort, and other myths.
