Description: Richard Dellamora offers the first full look at the entire range of Hall's published and unpublished works of fiction, poetry, and autobiography and reads through them to demonstrate how she continually played with the details of her own life to help fashion her own identity as well as to bring into existence a public lesbian culture.
Review Quotes: "Dellamora . . . commendably investigates Hall through more than a single lens. Although relationships between women were of upmost importance to Hall as an individual and artist, Dellamora focuses on the multifaceted person she was, including her interests in human psychology, Roman Catholicism, and paranormal phenomena. . . . Dellamora moves away from a traditional biographical structure by relating Hall's life principally through her writing."-- "Library Journal"
