Having recently read Lysistrata I imagined Aristophenes after reading The Queen of Gay Street thinking the next time he stages the comedy he will have the sex starved women of Athens work each other over with strap ons. Maybe Alexander Portnoy would wish he could have a three way with the author and The Monkey.
The Queen of Gay Street is a very open, at times x-rated account of the author's life when she left San Francisco in 2010 to New York City. She was tired of the preachy lesbian culture there and thought New York City might be a better place for her. She gets a job writing a column about lesbian dating for a magazine edited by Julia, the Queen of NYC lesbian life.
Her love life gets off to a state slow, spending her nights watching television with an 80 year old neighbour lady who gives her advise on how to find a man. The women in the bars are a mixture of those seeking a serious relationship to those seeking a short term sexual partner.
There are numerous graphic accounts of oral sex. The author takes us along on her dates and we suffer with her through a long abusive relationship. There is humour mixed with pain and self-discovery.
The Queen of Gay Street is available for $0.99 as a Kindle.
Esther Mollica has written for Wired, GO, Bust, Curve, Autostraddle and The Bay Area Reporter. Her short romantic comedy, Never the Bride, was featured as one of four films by up-and-coming women of color in San Francisco’s Frameline Film Festival, 2010. In 2011 she was named, “New York’s Most Eligible Lesbian Bachelorette” by Time Out New York, which ironically almost scared off her wife.
I very much enjoyed this memoir
