Anyone know some novels of literary merit that have lesbian subtext in them?

I've gotta write an essay on something.

I know of a few that have lesbian *text*, not so much *sub*. Does that help at all?

[scottyquick]

Certainly couldn't hurt!

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, Tipping The Velvet, and (possibly my all time favourite book if I have such a thing) Rubyfruit Jungle.

Heh, it has to be more Tolstoy then Terry. BUT WHAT'S THIS, another Discworld book I need to read?

I was thinking of that! I will admit that I've only seen She's The Man, though, because I fail at reading plays.

Oooh, sounds interesting. I'll keep him in mind for later!

Well, I suppose one could read a bit into the initial Katerina/Grushenka interaction from the Brothers Karamazov, but it isn't really what's going on. Great book, though.

GDI you guys are making my box of books to read grow and grow and grow :( .

It's the 'literary merit' part that's tough.

'Slow River; by Nicola Griffith? Lesbian SF.
