About this listen
Ann Bannon was designated the “Queen of Lesbian Pulp” for authoring several landmark novels in the ’50s. Unlike many writers of the period, however, Bannon broke through the shame and isolation typically portrayed in lesbian pulps, offering instead characters who embraced their sexuality. With Beebo Brinker, Bannon introduces a butch 17-year-old farm girl newly arrived in Beat-era Greenwich Village.

Would you consider the audio edition of Beebo Brinker to be better than the print version?
I haven't had the pleasure of reading this .
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jack Mann ,a sarcastic wonderfully warm and funny homosexual who takes Beebo under his wing teaching the young runaway about her new world.
What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
not only dose Kate Rudd give each and every person a personality but it also fells as if your in the fifties when the book was written ,it has an old sound some how.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes almost did ,I had to physically stop myself from going back and reading more.
Any additional comments?
Ann Bannon was a pioneer and considered the queen of Lesbian pulp novels.
These where written in the fifties not just set there and the language and the views of the time is often quite confronting ,but this gem that was sold in a brown paper bag to the brave few who dared to buy it from their local drug store made Ann a legend and a unsung best seller.
