The Lydia Steptoe Stories - Djuna Barnes
'I have quite changed my mind. A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by his father's mistress. I am going to run away and become a boy.'In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the brink of a sexual awakening - accompanied by guns, whips, and worldly innuendo.A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become 'a virago', until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up as her male lover.
'Alice', she tells herself, 'be a man.'Barnes makes gender and desire seem slippery and joyful - and makes the fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought she wanted.
