Saturday, January 19, at 6pm, a discussion and book signing with comedy writer Caitlin Kunkel, co-author of NEW EROTICA FOR FEMINISTS. Kunkel will appear in-conversation with local comedian and journalist Gwen Filosa.
Equal parts explosive, witty and empowering, NEW EROTICA FOR FEMINISTS, is the expansion of a satirical piece on McSweeney’s that became a viral sensation, attracting nearly a million page views. Caitlin Kunkel, along with her co-writers Brooke Preston, Fiona Taylor, and Carrie Wittmer, have rewritten common romance and adult genre tropes into hilarious, hot feminist fantasies.
Kunkel, Preston, Taylor, and Wittmer have assembled a smart, timely, and relatable book that balances our need to laugh through the pain with an earnest invocation for change. In NEW EROTICA FOR FEMINISTS, the authors have written dozens of brand-new satirical, spicy vignettes, chock-full of tongue-in-cheek (yet safer for work than the title implies) smut about women in pop culture, literature, dating, and modern parenting.
