| dbo:abstract | Spring Fire, la obra escrita por Marijane Meaker bajo el pseudónimo de Vin Packer, está considerada como la primera novela pulp lésbica, a pesar de que también aborda temas como el conformismo en la sociedad estadounidense durante la década de 1950. Se publicó originalmente en 1952 por , y vendió un millón y medio de copias (contando con al menos tres reimpresiones). volvió a sacar el libro a la venta en 2004 tras el visto bueno de Meaker, que se había negado durante años debido a sus sentimientos acerca del final de la novela. Meaker señaló que, "Todavía me encojo cuando pienso en ello. Nunca quise que fuera republicado. Era demasiado embarazoso". Meaker explicó en el prólogo de 2004 que Dick Carroll, editor de Gold Medal Books, le dijo que como el libro sería enviado a través del correo, no debía haber ninguna referencia a la homosexualidad como un estilo de vida atractivo en el libro, o los inspectores postales lo devolverían a la casa editorial. Carroll señaló que una de las protagonistas debía admitir que no era lesbiana, y que la otra con la que mantenía una relación "debía estar enferma o loca". (es) Spring Fire, is a 1952 paperback novel written by Marijane Meaker, under the pseudonym "Vin Packer". It is the first lesbian paperback novel, and the beginning of the lesbian pulp fiction genre; it also addresses issues of conformity in 1950s American society. The novel tells the story of Susan "Mitch" Mitchell, an awkward, lonely freshman at a Midwestern college who falls in love with Leda, her popular but troubled sorority sister. Published by Gold Medal Books, Spring Fire sold 1.5 million copies through at least three printings. Cleis Press re-released the book in 2004 after extensive negotiations with Meaker, who had long denied permission over her feelings about the ending. Following the exposure of their relationship, Leda is committed to a mental institution and Mitch realizes she never loved Leda. Meaker later wrote, "I still cringe when I think about it. I never wanted it republished. It was too embarrassing." Meaker explained in the 2004 foreword that Dick Carroll, her editor at Gold Medal Books, told her that because the book would be sent through the mail, no references to homosexuality as an attractive life could be portrayed or postal inspectors would send it back to the publishing house. He said that one character must acknowledge that she is not a lesbian, and the other she's involved with "must be sick or crazy". (en) |
