Michelle Tea & Jeremy Atherton Lin: SLUTS

Taking us from the awkwardness of middle school to the transcendence of a sex club, SLUTS: Anthology (Cipher Press) presents a 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 honour, 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.

The anthology’s editor, Michelle Tea (Black Wave, Against Memoir), and contributor Jeremy Atherton Lin (Gay Bar) were reading and in conversation about the project.
