EAT IT: A literary cookbook of food, sex and feminism
I'm thrilled to announce that my colleague Nicole Baute and I are co-editing an upcoming literary anthology of food and feminism, set to be published next fall by the Feathertale Review.
You can read all about it on the project's finger-lickin' website, but here is an amuse bouche:
EAT IT is a fun, touching, clever, sensual and irreverent anthology of women’s writing that hinges on the carnal. It’s a tasting menu of unique, genre-spanning stories, exploring what it means to be a woman who’s hungry for more. Literally. And literarily.
There was a time, not so long ago, when women belonged only in the kitchen. As a postmodern, one-fingered salute to this idea, we want to make the kitchen a subversive place where anything can happen, from gender play to power trips to really, really good risotto.
Imagine EAT IT as the book equivalent of a medievally furnished banquet table attended by Sasha Grey, Frida Kahlo, Jeanette Winterson, Mindy Kaling, Elizabeth Gilbert, some other cool chicks and you.
The collection will include some essays, some short stories, recipes, poems, fictional restaurant reviews, tales of 27 hamburgers, a recipe for sexy panties and a plot to takeover the world one milkshake at a time.
Visit http://www.eatit-literarycookbook.com for more info or send your pitches, questions and submissions to eatit@feathertale.com.
Our launch is scheduled for fall 2012!
