Rubyfruit Jungle
by Brown, Rita Mae
Rubyfruit Jungle is the first novel (1973) by Rita Mae Brown, remarkable for its explicit lesbianism. The novel is a bildungsroman/autobiographical (some have suggested picaresque) account of Brown's youth and emergence as a lesbian author. The term "ruby fruit jungle" is slang for the female genitals.

Description:
Penguin. Paperback. Good. This book is ex-stock and unread, but may not be as bright as a newly published book. The paper in some mass market paperbacks has browned because it is a lower quality. However, most of the other books are good to very good, especially the large format and hardcover copies. Item Price
