Re: Lesbian novels

[caecilia]

They're definitely a couple. The book was way more explicit about it than the movie. It's been a while since I read it, but there was one part where Ruth is afraid that her husband will "feel her love for Idgie", and there were a number of mentions of Idgie sleeping with the woman at the bar (who wasn't even in the movie, iirc). Also, Fannie Flagg dated Rita Mae Brown.

eta: I just wanted to clarify I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying your instincts were correct :)

Oh, I see! Yes, that may have contributed to it. I'm glad, anyway. It's an awesome book and it's good to know that it really wasn't all just vague hints and unrealized potential.

I read the description of the movie and it pissed me off. One of these cases where the adaptation is less progressive than the original, apparently.

I grew up with the movie and I love it a lot and I think in some aspects, the story is actually stronger than in the book. If they'd had the guts to keep the relationship, it would have been perfect. The only thing that always bugged me about the movie was the way they introduced Ruth as being older than Idgie and in love with her brother, which made a lot more sense when I found out they did it to hide the gay. As awful as that is, it's still a great movie and there are a lot of intimate moments between Idgie and Ruth. I kind of want to go watch it now, actually.
