There are these gorgeous moments of intimacy between Sydney and Faith that are intense and poetic and leave you weak. Then Sydney’s brother Eric enters the picture with his new girlfriend, Faith, historian, author, professor who secretly struggles with her Catholic religion and her true self. But if she can keep squeaky clean, maybe, the powers that be will back her. Extremely wealthy and smart, she seems a shoo-in for the candidacy except that it’s the late 90’s, she’s a woman, and a Lesbian. Sydney Van Allen is on the cusp for running for the Illinois State Senate. I’m writing this review on the eve of Chicago possibly voting in its first openly Lesbian Mayor. That’s it, I feel like that alone could be my review for this Fallback Book.įirst published in 1996, Wild Things seems awfully apropos for 2019 since it takes place in a politically charged time in Chicago.
