Book description
An anthology of writing that explores what it means to be sexually promiscuous in contemporary culture, edited by cult-favourite writer Michelle Tea.Boyfriends masquerade as straight bros to have fun on an early internet porn site. Sex on Viagra; sex on acid. A lesbian bar sells out, turning barflies into doms for hire. In Spain, an exchange student lets two young men flip a coin to see who will have her. A stranger on a train. A collegiate lesbian ‘it’ couple. A trans woman bashes back. Post-apocalyptic punk crushes. Slut eras. An American intellectual in Austria fucks and talks attachment styles with a Viennese queer. A jaded Black queen ponders race, apps and what the sex we have says about us. Taking us from the awkwardness of middle school to the transcendence of a sex club, SLUTS: Anthology presents an inspiringly diverse collection of writing – fiction and non-fiction, pro and con, philosophical and compulsive – exploring the eternally controversial word. Whether an insult or badge of honor, an identity or a state of mind, SLUTS engages some of the hottest minds of the moment to riff on the subject, exploring the nature of desire and its cultural consequences, creating a collection bound to become a classic of sex writing.Featuring work by: DL Alvarez * Jeremy Atherton Lin * Vera Blossom * Chloe Caldwell * Cristy Road Carrera * Sam Cohen * Tom Cole * Lydia Conklin * jimmy cooper * Lyn Corelle * Jenny Fran Davis * Cyrus Dunham * Hedi El Kholti * Robert Gluck * Miguel Gutierrez * Gary Indiana * Taleen Kali * Cheryl Klein * Gabrielle Korn * Nate Lippens * Meredith Maran * Carta Monir * Amanda Montell * Carely Moore * Bradford Nordeen * Baruch Porras-Hernandez * Kamala Puligandla * Brontez Purnell * Liara Roux * Andrea Sands * Daviel Shy * Jen Silverman * Anna Joy Springer * Laurie Stone * McKenzie Wark & Zoe Whittal
