The Gilda Stories, by Jewelle Gomez
More than 30 years after its release, The Gilda Stories remains a remarkable novel. The book begins in 1850s Louisiana, where an unnamed girl who has just escaped enslavement is hiding in a farmhouse root cellar. Trembling & covered in blood, she’s awakened from her fitful sleep by a Black woman named Gilda, who owns a nearby brothel with her partner, a Native American woman named Bird. Gilda & Bird also happen to be vampires. Gomez’s vampires are telepathic, which gives the characters opportunities to communicate with one another on frustrating, layered, delicious levels, & allows the book to shift deftly between multiple perspectives. And despite her initial fear upon discovering that Gilda can hear her thoughts, the girl grows to see the two women as her family, deciding to become a vampire herself & taking on Gilda’s name when the older woman chooses to die. The Gilda Stories tackles weighty subjects such as slavery & sexual assault, but doesn’t relish violence for violence’s sake. Instead, the book, which was born of Gomez’s desire to see “a lesbian of color embark on the adventure of eternal life,” is full of curiosity & compassion—a particular pleasure in a story about queer monsters . —Hannah Giorgis, The Atlantic
