Dirty words for dirty minds


It's surely not the first time that literary writers have turned their minds and their pens (keyboards?) to eroticism.

Tonight, the Green Street Arts Center presents readings from Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex. Here's what Green Street has to say about the event:

    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. Advanced Reservation is recommended.

What a shame! I doubt they'll get much of an audience, since people will be so engaged with the joint meeting of the Redevelopment and Public Safety commissions over at City Hall, they won't be able to tear themselves away to get to this show at Green Street.

If anyone does decide to attend this event at Green Street, please console them -- it's not that people weren't attracted to their offering, it's just that they had stiff competition!
