WANTING: Women Writing About Desire

  • Skylight Books 1818 North Vermont Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90027 United States (map)

A reading to celebrate a new anthology from Catapult, edited by Margot Kahn and Kelly McMasters.

What is desire? And what are its rules? In this daring collection, award-winning and emerging female writers share their innermost longings, in turn dismantling both personal and political constructs of what desire is or can be.

Including pieces by Angela Cardinale, Sonia Maria David, Tara Conklin, Torrey Peters, Camille Dungy, Melissa Febos, Lisa Taddeo, Elisa Albert, Merritt Tierce, and others, these candid and insightful essays tackle the complicated knot of women’s desire.

Contributors Angela Cardinale, Sonia Maria David, and Merritt Tierce will be joined in conversation by editor Margot Kahn.
