Carol Mulroney stands on her roof, watching the sparkling lights of the city below. Her rooftop is her hideaway, her haven, her solace from the chaotic world below. But the roof is being overrun by the inevitable messiness of life and the people in it. Over the fragmented course of a day, Carol will stay on her roof and seek to make connections with those to whom she is closest her husband, her best friend, her father and someone new. In each encounter she will try to make sense of who she is in relation to these insane, loving, unintentionally hurtful people. She will look for value in the chaos and meaning in the hope, refusing to give in to falseness or a second-rate way of living. And in the end she will find connection on her own defiant terms.
A remarkable achievement...warm, funny and hopeful...Belber has a keen eye and ear for the comedy of human existence.

Carol Mulroney
Really brilliant lesbian feminist mythmaking. Good stuff. "The Second Coming of Joan of Arc" and "Artemisia and Hildegard" were probably my favourites, but at least half of them made me cry all over my book like a wiener. Not that they took themselves too seriously, some were quite witty and fun, but Gage sure knows how to pack an emotional punch. And she sure has captured what it's like to be a dyke in communities where that's not an acceptable option. My main takeaway is that Rich was right when she said that a central fact of woman's history is that we have always resisted male tyranny. We've done it in a lot of different ways, but we're born to survive.
I wish some of the plays were longer but I suppose that's not the point. And if my biggest complaint is that I wanted more I suppose that's a good sign.
And as a Joan of Arc nerd, this is one of my favourite depictions of the kid.
