I can already tell she’s ugly. Any literature on why lesbians are always ugly?

This book shows all of the old ones and some of the best of the more contemporary. I want to read The Passion by Winterson. (When I get a chance) Sounds cute.

Most people are ugly.

All the old tropes about them being evil degenerates, or confused. Shakespeare’s cross dressers can be fun, but they end in marriage
Mostly I’d just like to see incidental characterizations

The first half of this book is good, but it falls apart in the second. The ending is absolute shit.

Had a nice lesbian skinny dipping scene.
But Ursula eventually came to her senses and realized she craved cock.
And Narrator out and out said the lezzie teacher was a pervert

There's a whole thread on this in /u/ if you're interested. They include fanfiction too though, so not a strictly /lit/ discussion group.

Les amies de Heloise by Helene Montferrand

Why was my comment deleted? Lesbians are legitimately ugly though, like an ugly woman comes to mind to define lesbian woman. You immediately picture a butch, fat, short haired woman.

Carmilla has heavy lesbian subtexts if you don’t mind gothic horror
