Sex!

The next installment of this innovative reading series is so close to Valentine’s Day that we couldn’t avoid exploring some aspects of sex and lust and love, from a boy’s first education, to a call girl’s social skills, to tips on improving hetero sex, to the story of Nabokov’s gay brother.

Clay McLeod Chapman (“Rest Area”), Rachel Rabbit White, Tracy Quan (“Diary of a Jetsetting Call Girl”), and Paul Russell (“The Unreal Life of Sergey Nabokov”) read from fiction and nonfiction.

A panel discussion on sex—what is it doing to us and who’s in control, us or it?—will follow.

Donation: $5. Or you can hand in a story.

In lieu of a donation, writers are encouraged to hand in a story; if we like it, we’ll invite you to read (double-spaced, 12 point type; max 20 pages).

The Made-up Man Book Launch

Come join the author for a reading, a signing, a reception with fortune tellers and (who knows) maybe some gender-bending? In Karen Heuler’s “The Made-Up Man,” Alyson Salky gets fed up by her boyfriend, her boss, even her dog—all of it! She meets a fortune teller who claims to give her anything she wants, and Alyson decides she wants to be a man.

And soon enough Al becomes Bob, intent on getting ahead in life—and getting even. But how do reversals work out? And can you really expect to get what you want when you’re dealing with a rather bored devil with a sense of irony? Who gets the last, best trick before the deal runs out?
