The execution of the narrative in this book reminds me a lot of John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces in its hilarity of the protagonist's inner monologue. In Don’t Bang the Barista!, Kate is Mario and everyone else… Well, is everyone else that hooks up and breaks up with everyone else.ĭon't Bang the Barista! is one of the smartest, funniest lesbian novels that I've had the opportunity to read and review. When and where mass lesbians congregate (e.g bar, club, pride, Dinah Shore, IKEA, a Tegan and Sara concert, your local Home Depot) it’s a battlefield and we’re all players with unlimited lives (and libido) as long as we’re in the game. Ever play Super Mario Smash Bros? That game is the perfect analogy for lesbian dating life. EVERYONE is fair game: your girlfriend, your girlfriend’s ex-girlfriend, your ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend, your ex-girlfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend, etc. You know what’s really unfair about being a lesbian? It’s a free-for-all when it comes to dating.
