Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex

TUESDAY, June 24 at 7pm
Suggested donation: $5
Advance reservations recommended.

Our favorite contemporary authors on an irresistible subject: sex. From sexual relationships to sexual positions, from the classics to contemporary twists, Dirty Words collects the most provocative definitions of the most outlandish sexual terms, as defined by some of today’s most exciting writers. Editor Ellen Sussman is joined by the region’s “literati” for an evening of readings that step in where time-honored discussions of the birds and the bees fall short. Featuring live readings by: Sussman and Sam Brumbaugh, Rand Cooper, Thaisa Frank, Dan Pope and Mary-Ann Tirone Smith. Due to mature content, this event is recommended for people age 18 and up.
