Episode 3 - Rubyfruit Jungle

In the third episode of Lavender Lit Club we review the cult classic Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. Despite this novel being one of the first of it's kind, a landmark lesbian coming of age novel, it is full of touchy topics and difficult to accept racist and TERF sentiments. We follow a judgmental Molly Bolt through her youth, the discovery of her sexuality, and her struggle to make it as a filmmaker in New York City. Full of promise and possibility, Rubyfruit Jungle let us down, but we found a lot to chew on with this one and enjoyed diving into it all with this review.

The Late Set WRTI Jazz is a conversation — and that’s what The Late Set is all about. Originated by critic Nate Chinen and broadcaster Greg Bryant, the show now convenes Chinen and Josh Jackson twice a month for perceptive variations on a theme, and their related interview with a special guest. Just like a hang at the end of the gig, in the back of the club, it’s direct, unfiltered and illuminating, revealing the music and its culture in a deeper light.
