Book: Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson

Want to meet other gay women in Bristol who don't necessarily live and breathe the scene then come join Gaywrite (I desperately wanted to avoid the time-old, hackneyed cliches of classified ads of the 'join us and we'll change your life' variety, but sadly have quite obviously failed - please don't hold it against me!)
We want fun, lively women to come along once per month to talk about the latest offerings in gay literature. We're not averse to talking about life, love and shoes either - wherever the conversation leads us, although it goes without saying the more punchlines the better. Also, a basic knowledge of the L Word is very much recommended for your own sanity!
Look forward to seeing you at the TF on May 7th!
