Slack Pussy Session 9: “The Lonely City” (2016) by Olivia Laing. Chosen by Juliet Jacques
April 25, 2018 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm BST
This is what Jacques says:
“Olivia Laing is such an interesting queer/feminist voice: you can really see the legacy of Hélène Cixous in her work, in the combination of personal and cultural reflections, which tap into the hybrid memoir/criticism style that so many writers are doing well right now, but comes out in a way that feels utterly unique. The Lonely City presents a take on post-war New York, and its queer art, that really stands out from the (numerous) other works on the subject.”
We encourage you to read the whole book, if you can. We have a pdf of chapter 4, on the photographer and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz; please contact slackpuss.rg@gmail.com for a copy.
