Sarah Schulman Bücher

Leben am Rand ist ein Roman über AIDS, über das Leben der Obdachlosen in New York, und über drei Menschen, einen Mann, seine Frau und deren Geliebte.

Maggie Terry hat den Tiefpunkt erreicht. Gerade aus der Reha in die Welt entlassen, Exfreundin und Tochter sind schon lange weg, muss sie einen neuen Job in einer Anwaltskanzlei antreten, denn ihre Karriere bei der New Yorker Polizei ist unwiderruflich futsch. Nun heißt es den Anschluss an die Gegenwart wiederfinden. Am ersten Tag von Maggies neuem beruflichem Dasein stattet Broadway-Bühnenstar Lucy Horne der Kanzlei einen Besuch ab. Maggie soll diskret den Mord an einer Komparsin untersuchen – die Schauspielerin Jamie Wagner wurde erwürgt –, und Lucy präsentiert auch einen Verdächtigen, den bekannten Schriftsteller Steven Brinkley. Ein Verbrechen aus Leidenschaft? Maggie Terry kämpft mühsam um Bodenhaftung, pendelt zwischen Narcotics Anonymous-Treffen, irrationalen Stalking-Aktionen ihrer treulosen Ex und dem Versuch zu verstehen, was mit ihr und der Welt passiert ist …

The narrative is both thought-provoking and essential, shedding light on the often-overlooked consequences of gentrification that impact lives and neighborhoods.

At once a memoir, a call to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and an argument for queer solidarity across borders, this book tells the story of how novelist and activist Sarah Schulman's became aware of how issues of the Israeli occupation of Palestine were tied to her own gay and lesbian politics.

In this groundbreaking book, playwright and social critic Sarah Schulman explores the family, the first place where all people: straight, gay, and bisexual, learn homophobia. It is within the family that homophobia begins to control the lives of perpetrators and recipients. Written in the tradition of Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape (Ballantine Books, 2000), which transformed rape from a private problem into an internationally recognised cultural crisis. Ties That Bind uncovers the hidden crime of `familial homophobia' and moves it into the open.

In this new edition of Sarah Schulman's groundbreaking 1988 novel, the unnamed narrator is an abandoned coffee-shop waitress in New York's under-the-radar Lower East Side. No one cares about her and no one will stand up for her; she lives in the emotional anarchy that engulfs a lot of gay girls who have no place, no home. Her ex-girlfriend Delores knew all that, and exploited it, because she didn't want to be bothered, which is unbearable information to our waitress. Over the course of a few days, she goes on the prowl looking for someone to talk to, anyone really; but she doesn't expect to get immersed in a tangled web of seduction, poverty, and finally murder
