Title: Don't Explain
Subtitle: Short Fiction
First published: 1998
Description: "Popular, respected, and widely published author Jewelle Gomez combines exciting new work with classic stories in this memorable collection of short fiction.  Well-versed in the traditions of African-American writing, Gomez moves from lesbian life in Boston in the 1960s (the title story) to a futuristic fantasy, 'Houston,' a previously unpublished Gilda story. The centerpiece novella, 'Lynx and Strand,' explores some of the darkest dreams and fears of American culture as we hurtle toward the millenium.    The breadth of Jewelle Gomez's literary reach is amply illustrated as she continues to entice and entertain her readers in Don't Explain with her sweetly erotic excursions and encompassing vision."--BOOK JACKET.
