Synopsis
Born into a stifling family where neither sex talk nor the slightest profanity was tolerated, Jan Clausen underwent an intellectual and sexual awakening, first at Reed College, and later on the streets of New York City, where she discovered a passion for other women. Fast-forward a number of years, Clausen moved herself to Nicaragua, where she discovered a newfound freedom - including the freedom to fall in love with a man. Here she muses on sexual fluidity and identity, coming to the conclusion that human intimacy is beyond labels.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Part memoir of sexual awakening, part meditation on the fluidity of sexuality and identity, this hybrid tale shows that human intimacy knows no labels.Sexuality and identity are the twin goddesses that lend Jan Clausen's Apples & Oranges its grace and urgency. In the late 1980s, after more than a decade living within a strong Brooklyn lesbian community with her female lover and their daughter, Clausen travels to a war zone in Nicaragua, where she falls in love with a West Indian male lawyer. Her memoir is brimming with intimate physical and emotional details of her personal journey, but perhaps what sets it apart are the deeply informed historical and philosophical lenses through which she examines her own experience.Deeply felt, intensely thoughtful, gorgeously written, Apples & Oranges is a testament to the power and peril of desire. It is also a dazzling examination of the ways in which our search for love and happiness intersect. What does it mean to be straight? What does it mean to be queer? Jan Clausen gives us not one but many answers to these questions. Part memoir of sexual awakening, part meditation on the fluidity of sexuality and identity, this hybrid tale shows that human intimacy knows no labels.
