Lynne Cheney's lesbian novel

sister-cover
Originally uploaded by recyclingfan.

IN 1981 Lynne published "Sisters," a novel about two women who move west and deal with the frontier. One sister actually has an affair with her sister, then after her sister dies she has an affair with her dead sisters widowed husband. So we have lesbian love, adulterous love, bisexuality - wow! Lynne's been holding back! It is out of print and rumor has it that the republicans are buying up copies on ebay. The canadian publisher wanted a second edition to capitalize on Lynne's notoriety as first VP lady, but she refused. Here is an excerpt:
"The women who embraced in the wagon were Adam and Eve crossing a dark cathedral stage -- no, Eve and Eve, loving one another as they would not be able to once they ate of the fruit and knew themselves as they truly were. She felt curiously moved, curiously envious of them. She had never to this moment thought Eden a particularly attractive paradise, based as it was on naiveté, but she saw that the women in the cart had a passionate, loving intimacy forever closed to her. How strong it made them. What comfort it gave.

The young woman was heavily powdered, but quite attractive, a curvesome creature, rounded at bosom and cheek. When she smiled, even her teeth seemed puffed and rounded, like tiny ivory pillows.

Let us go away together, away from the anger and imperatives of men. We shall find ourselves a secluded bower where they dare not venture. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement. In the evenings I shall read to you while you work your cross-stitch in the firelight. And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl."

Lynne is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, some BS appointment she received. She has written a 30 pg "book" on how academia is populated by communists and feminists who are brainwashing our children (that is considered "research?") and a childrens book on America (A is for Arabs, we only like the ones with oil) that sort of thing. Then she wrote a novel about a Pres who dies while porking an intern (where did she get that idea?) and his party keeps his death a secret so the VP can win the Wisconsin pres primary (?!) That novel was co-authored (a co authored novel?) So her senior fellow position is BS.
