Click into this interview with Sarah Waters (Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith).
If she had any aim regarding the "lesbian-ness" of her writing,
it was the more properly historical one of writing lesbians back
into history, of telling stories that were once left untold. In
this sense, the label historical novelist, rather than lesbian
novelist, makes more sense to her, though she is happy with
both.

Good interview, her new book sounds interesting. I’d like to track down the Tipping the Velvet dvd. Ever see it?
We saw part of Tipping the Velvet but not all of it. Another of her books (or maybe both of them) is on DVD, haven’t seen that either.
You’re gonna hate me but I’m going to a Book and Brunch event where she is one of the featured authors…
LOL Why would I hate you? You are gonna blog about it later, right?
lol. Cause I’ve been lucking out on meeting cool authors?
I plan to blog about it. Then again I was planned to blog about Atwood and never quite got around to it…
