The Child

--The first paperback edition of Sarah's most recent novel, published in hardcover by the now-defunct Carroll & Graf in 2007. --The Child is of interest not only to lesbian readers but gay male and general audiences as well-the subject matter, that of the tragic consequences of moral panic in reaction to teen sexual desire, makes this an important book that transcends the GLBT label. --Sarah Schulman is one of the most compelling literary voices working in America today; her novels, plays, and essays are defiant, political, and full of wit and pathos. --Her books have been translated into eight other languages, and her other awards include the Gustav Meyers Book Award on the Study of Human Rights, the Gregory Kolovakos Memorial Prize for AIDS Fiction, 3 Guggenheim Awards for playwrighting; and 3 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships.
