"Lavishly crammed with the songs, smells, and costumes of late Victorian England" (The Daily Telegraph), this delicious, steamy debut novel chronicles the adventures of Nan King, who begins life as an oyster girl in the provincial seaside town of Whitstable and whose fortunes are forever changed when she falls in love with a cross-dressing music-hall singer named Miss Kitty Butler. When Kitty is called up to London for an engagement on "Grease Paint Avenue, " Nan follows as her dresser and secret lover, and, soon after, dons trousers herself and joins the act. In time, Kitty breaks her heart, and Nan assumes the guise of butch roue to commence her own thrilling and varied sexual education--a sort of Moll Flanders in drag--finally finding friendship and true love in the most unexpected places. Drawing comparison to the work of Jeanette Winterson, Sarah Waters's novel is a feast for the senses--an erotic, lushly detailed historical that bursts with life and dazzlingly casts the turn of the century in a different light. "An unstoppable read, a sexy and picaresque romp through the lesbian and queer demi-monde of the roaring Nineties. It's gorgeous." --The Independent on Sunday (UK)

《你是否快来了》，她一直等待，隐忍。在文字里的痛倘若虚幻，那么现在的她已经真实而且棱角分明的呈现在你们面前。她说，她就是故事里所有的角色。用虚构的人物描述自己的影像，跌荡起伏的欲压制着她，在每一个具有画面感的情节里，她变得鲜活而放肆。 一个另类女子的故事。在等待另一个女子的出现。而她，是否真的快来了？作者用最固执，原始，反叛的自我讲述了一个需要的她。

她叫丁天使，家卻不是天堂，生活的貧困，父親的畏縮與無能，加上母親的囂張跋扈與母女間的冷戰，日子充滿難堪，與被遺棄的孤單無助。她想愛，卻不能愛，只有藉著同性及陌生的肉體，激起靈魂中最後的熱情，沒有救贖，只能沉淪，一步步直到羽翼燃燒殆盡 ......

本書創作主題反映了現代消費社會五光十色的精神廢墟，與被異化的人的一般處境。新世代小說家直接大膽的宣告；徹底逆反舊世代的影響，重新設定嶄新的書寫圖象。作者簡介 邱妙津 邱妙津，一九六九∼一九九五，台大心理系畢業，劉學法國巴黎第八大學心理系臨床組。曾於張老師心理輔導中心擔任輔導員，後進入《新新聞》雜誌擔任記者。曾獲聯合文學中篇小說推薦獎、中央日報小說獎，著有小說集《鬼的狂歡》、《寂寞群眾》、《鱷魚手記》等。

《惡女書》為十年前陳雪的第一本小說創作，不但變成了陳雪的「代名詞」，也是許多研究她的學生、學者、評論者必然會提到的重點書單。本書共收錄〈尋找天使遺失的翅膀〉、〈異色之屋〉、〈夜的迷宮〉、〈貓死了之後〉四篇中篇，以第一人稱告白體，書寫女同性戀充滿罪惡感卻又耽溺其中的情慾，在看似淫蕩敗德的字裡行間，流露的是被社會主流價值所壓抑的痛苦與悲哀。作者述說的是關於「人內在」的故事，不只是女性的，不只是同性戀的，更不只是情慾的，而是企圖用文字與肉身極力抵抗所謂「唯一的真實」。
