She flees her small, upstate New York college town, grapples with gender confusion and the ghosts of therapists past, and fumbles her way through comedic sexual self-discovery, oscillating all the while between visionary confidence and debilitating self-doubt. Confronted with the homophobia of straight feminists and the misogyny of gay men, Esther is left to forge a language for her feminism and her burgeoning lesbian desire. \u003cem\u003eOn Strike Against God\u003c\/em\u003e is quintessentially Russ: experimental but accessible, alternately wry and earnest, poignantly didactic, playful, and emotionally charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new critical edition of \u003ci\u003eOn Strike Against God \u003c\/i\u003eincludes additional materials from Russ's archive.
