This week, I hopped on Substack Live with
to talk about writing sex scenes, recent debates over pornography, and the current state of feminist media (lol). You’ll have to be a paid subscriber to Amanda’s newsletter to watch the recording, but the conversation is worth it, and so is her newsletter, which is consistently brilliant.In our chat, I mentioned a book I recently finished: Susan Minot’s Rapture. The entire novel is framed around a single blow job—and yet so much happens because of the interiority of the two main characters. We get a download on the story of their on-again-off-again relationship, and see just how emotionally far apart two people can be in their most physically intimate moments.
