Angelic Transmissions, Andrea Dworkin, an Epic PDF
Today, Monday, January 13, I’ll chat with critic and curator Jarrett Earnest, who I love, on Angelic Transmissions, his radio show collaboration with Leigha Mason. The show is from 12-2 PM, and I’ll join the conversation around 1. I don’t know what we’ll discuss, although Jarrett did text me, by way of invitation, “I’ve been having some questions for myself about art writing what’s it good for …” You can wave to us from the street on 1st Ave (or hold up a sign for us to read on air with your answer to this question). Listen live or find the show archived later.
Then, on Thursday, February 20th, at 7 pm, I’ll be talking with Sarah Leonard and John Stoltenberg about Andrea Dworkin to celebrate Picador’s publication of new editions of her non-fiction works Woman Hating, 1974, Pornography, 1981, and Right-Wing Women, 1983. The event, presented by Picador, Books Are Magic, and Lux will be at the Invisible Dog Arts Center in Brooklyn. If you want to know why I think you should care about these books you can read my obsessive introduction to Last Days at Hot Slit: the Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin, 2019, the semiotext(e) anthology I edited with Amy Scholder. An abridged, somewhat different, version of the essay was published by NYRB, but here is the epic version, as a PDF, which I prefer.
