Jenny Fran Davis’s ‘Dykette’ reads like a taxonomy of queer theory, references, and history, while offering up wholly new words and takes on contemporary lesbian life.
shows up to our interview with, as promised, a prime piece of book swag: a white baseball cap within hot pink cursive along the front. On the walk from her apartment to the coffee shop, she hadn’t quite worked up the nerve to don it, she said. “I was like, Am I a fraud? Can I really walk the walk and wear the hat? It’s blazing neon. I found that I couldn’t. And even though I was carrying it very prominently, men still hit on me! I thought that would be an interesting experiment.
At the center of the novel is Sasha, an unapologetically fashion-obsessed femme and self-styled dykette, whose preoccupations include queer tropes, her pug Vivienne, out-femme-ing everyone around her, and her “boyfriend” Jesse . At the beginning of the book, Sasha overhears Jesse say some less-than-flattering things about her in a therapy session, right as they are about to join two other queer couples on an upstate getaway.
