About this title

Review:

“The Five Lesbian Brothers have developed an astonishing body of work... made in a community far off the cultural radar screen, in cooperative spaces that flourished without funding, using methods and techniques that came out of second-wave feminism rather than an MFA program. This collection functions as a literary little black dress: it’s suitable for almost all occasions.” – Holly Hughes, from her introduction

“The Five Lesbian Brothers are not only gaspingly hilarious and blithely subversive, they are fully capable of creating characters named Dawn, Patty and Peaches. Their work travels from the Pygo Moon System to the elite Tilure-Pussen-heimer Academy to my favorite town in all world literature – Big Bone, Oregon. Reading The Brothers’ plays is addictive, although I am told that the group will come to your home and perform them. But be prepared: these women are sexy, silly and homicidal, and they chug-a-lug SlimFast. You need them.” – Paul Rudnick
