This paper begins to examine the practice of reading the lesbian romance novel through surveys and interviews of selected readers, booksellers and publishers. Findings suggest that while the notion of escape similarly motivates both straight and lesbian romance readers, the psychological effects upon those readers differ significantly. Ultimately, this paper acknowledges that producers and consumers look to lesbian romances to counter the often invisible status of gay life in today's world.Cet exposé aborde l'étude de la pratique de la lecture du roman à l'eau de rose lesbien par l'entremise de lectrices, de libraires et d...
