In the late 1980s, after more than a decade living within a strong Brooklyn lesbian community with her female lover and their daughter, Clausen travels to a war zone in Nicaragua, where she falls in love with a West Indian male lawyer. Her memoir is brimming with intimate physical and emotional details of her personal journey, but perhaps what sets it apart are the deeply informed historical and philosophical lenses through which she examines her own experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply felt, intensely thoughtful, gorgeously written, \u003ci\u003eApples \u0026amp; Oranges\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the power and peril of desire.
