HERS2

Nicely varied collection of 21 new stories by lesbian writers, a follow-up to 1995's Hers. There are some startling, technically inventive pieces here, including Alice Bloch's ``Learning the Hula''; typically strong contributions from such established writers as Mary Bucci Bush (``Love'') and Mary Gaitskill (``Processing''); and some moving, exact works by less well-known writers—e.g., Ronna Magy's ``Family'' and Elise D'Haene's ``Breasts.''
