Borich grew up in Chicago before moving to Minneapolis as a young woman, and in many ways вЂњBody GeographicвЂќ is a love story about the вЂњWhite City,вЂќ a series of essays that mark her longing for that hometown. The ebook follows a new book into the world: BorichвЂ™s memoir вЂњBody GeographicвЂќВ (Graywolf Press) explores the ways in which places and maps help form experiences, memories, and ultimately identities.

The complexity of that argument doesnвЂ™t always make it to the news.вЂќ вЂњThereвЂ™s still not a lot out there thatвЂ™s like that book, in the ways I talked about the word вЂmarriage,вЂ™ and what it means to lesbians. вЂњAt the time I published that book, nothing happening now was even imaginable - all these constitutional amendment battles, so many states with same-sex marriage,вЂќ she said. Originally published by Graywolf Press in 1999, the book has been reissued this week as an ebook, with a new introduction that reflects the added dimensions Barrie and her spouse Linnea have experienced as their relationship enters its third decade, and as gay rights and realities have come into the open.

вЂњMy Lesbian HusbandвЂќВ is a romantic and philosophical love story about two women, and a groundbreaking look into the language that defines relationships. SheвЂ™s keeping an eye on the progress of the gay marriage legislation being debated at the Capitol, but Barrie Jean BorichВ doesnвЂ™t really need to pay attention to the arguments she wrote the book on gay marriage a long time ago.
