Pike's review of Laurence Schimel, ed., Things Invisible to see: Gay and Lesbian Tales of Magical Realism (Cambridge, MA: Circlet Press, 1998, paper, 12.95) explores domains in which gender and desire are flexible, using the concept of border land communities. He finds the collected works in this volume to be uneven, but admires Sarah Schulman's "The Penis Story" in which the main character, a committed feminist and lesbian activist, wakes up to discover a penis hanging between her legs. He finds value in applying magical realist strategies to fictions of gender and sexuality.
