英語「Sunnybrook:a true story with lies…/サニーブルック:嘘のある本当の話…」Persimmon Blackbridge/パーシモン・ブラックブリッジ著 Press Gang Publishers 1996年発行 87頁 24.2×17.4×1.5㎝ 0.48㎏ Hardcover Dustjacket
【カバー袖より内容紹介】Sunnybrook: A True Story with Lies is the hilarious and angry story of a young woman who fakes her way into a job that changes her life. One cover-up follows another as Diane hides her learning disabilities from her new employer, the "Sunnybrook Institution for the Mentally Handicapped" and her girlfriend. But her dreams of becoming "a professional" are threatened by her identification with the inmates at Sunnybrook. And when Diane meets Shirley-Butch at the bar, her lesbian identity and her psychiatric history become irrevocably intertwined.
Moving back and forth between Diane's job and her personal life, Sunnybrook is by turns funny, tragic and sexy. It is a riveting and visually arresting story about a group of people whose lives are made up of small acts of resistance, who steal moments of joy whenever possible.
