Plot Summary of Don Juan in the Village
"Jane Delynn writes a fictional novel that reads as a sex diary of lesbian conquests and failures. The novel touches on the pursuit and the acquisiton of different women as objects of desire. The author sometimes succeeds and sometimes fails in her conquests and is the object of desire herself many of times. The novel touches on lesbians hookups and focuses on the feelings of the author. No matter how many hookups the author succeeds in she is always left feeling empty internally afterwards. The novel delves into the psyche of a sexually experienced young lesbian and the global treatment of lesbians. "
Daniela Lo Presti, Resident Scholar
