TORONTO --- A new anthology of women’s writing published by the National Magazine Award-winning Feathertale Review reveals the tantalizing and complex relationships between women, food and sex.
EAT IT: Sex, Food and Women’s Writingis an irreverent, clever and touching anthology that hinges on the carnal. It’s a tasting menu of unique, genre-spanning stories that explore what it means to be a woman who’s hungry for more.
What’s the best way to poison one’s husband? What happens when the body itself becomes a source of food? Can a potato be political?EAT IT ’s contributors explore these questions and more with equal parts humour and gravitas, revealing that for many women food is about love but also power, biology, social obligation, experimentation, nourishment, pain and pleasure.
Edited by Brianna Goldberg and Nicole Baute, EAT IT is a delicious potluck of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, literary recipes, menus and more. The book’s contributors include Toronto Star food editor Jennifer Bain, Giller-nominated short story writer Sarah Selecky, Sydney Prize recipient Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, comics Rebecca Kohler and Evany Rosen, and dozens of established and up-and-coming journalists, writers and poets.
EAT ITwill be launched on October 22, 2013, at Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel, with a variety show co-hosted by This is Not a Reading Series and featuring many of the book’s contributors.
This literary morsel is currently available for pre-order via the Feathertale store. It will hit magazine racks across Canada and beyond on October 22. Look for it at Chapters Indigo bookstores as well as many independent booksellers in Canada,the United States, the United Kingdom and China.
