Queer Cultural Work of Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner

Jennifer Reed is Associate Professor at California State University, Long Beach, USA.

"Eminently readable and clearly the product of copious research, the volume is a useful introduction to queer theory as well as to the work of Tomlin and Wagner. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers." - CHOICE "Part biography of a relationship, part critical analysis of a comedy partnership, this book gives us a peek into the queer and quirky relationship between Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner. The book is valuable both for what she says about a deeply creative romantic partnership and for its insights about humor, hilarity, and the way they can be embedded in rather than antithetical to feminism. Who says feminists lack a sense of humor?" - Jack Halberstam, author of The Queer Art of Failure
