"A Tom Doherty Associates book."
San Francisco in 1940 is a haven for the unconventional. Tourists flock to the cities within the city: the Magic City of the World's Fair on an island created of artifice and illusion; the forbidden city of Chinatown, a separate, alien world of exotic food and nightclubs that offer "authentic" experiences, straight from the pages of the pulps; and the twilight world of forbidden love, where outcasts from conventional society can meet. Six women find their lives as tangled with each other's as they are with the city they call home. They discover love and danger on the borders where magic, science, and art intersect.

Astounding. submitted by torikaebaya on February 26, 2017, 2:45pm Astounding. One of the most vibrantly beautiful things I've ever had the pleasure to read. Sadly I don't think it's possible to really describe the plot in any way that's not ruinously spoiler-laden, but I will say that Passing Strange is romantic, engaging and timeless. It's also very likely one of the strongest contributions to Lesbian Lit we have to date.
