Sexual fantasy with your coffee, babe?
I reviewed Gillian Anderson's new book WANT for The Washington Post
I returned late last night from a road trip to deliver my oldest kid (my eldest boy!) to college for his freshman year. On the way there we stopped in Niagara Falls and drove a lil bit across Canada (apparently with an old expired passport on my part??). I lingered in Chicago for several days on my way back where I interviewed for a job, ran into an old friend on the street, snuck into a private debate watch party, and hung out with top tier members of my family. I drove back solo through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York via the Adirondacks and finally back onto some well-worn Vermont roads.
I’m exhausted, happy, and have a million excited thoughts pinballing around in my head. While all of that processes, I’m sharing my latest book review for The Washington Post that just went up yesterday (and that was finalized with my editor as I hopscotched my way across midwest rest areas).
What a dream assignment. And many more layers of things to think about, to be sure. So much so that I went against my usual policy of reading the comments and dipped in quickly to see how it was landing.
If you’re into thinking and talking and writing and making art and arguing about sex and feminism, marriage and the role of it in current society (basically, what men believe they are owed or how if you just love each other you know “everything” about what your lady wants already, ok dude), and that a wide range of sexualities actually do exist in this world and aren’t necessarily built onto hetero normative templates that sometimes (figuratively) suck butt, please feel free to do the backstroke through those comments.
Thank you for reading and being a reader in general. Back to regular programming next weekend! Have an extremely sexy Sunday, people.
P.S. Some housekeeping: I’m working on the second (and final) installment of “Welcome to the jungle” so stay tuned for that soon. You can read Part 1 here:
