About the book:
Cat Fitzpatrick delights in this post-pandemic follow-up to her debut verse novel of present-day manners, The Call-Out - a trans community celebration of mores, gender theory, and rhyme. The Dinner Party returns to the chaotic and adorable world of trans femme. Joining "The Dinner Party" are several other themed pieces, including "A Stay in the Country," a short arcadian pageant, "Baby Book," about the trials and tribulations of making babies as queer and transsexual couples, "Letter to Crabstick," an epistolatory friendship, and "Uxorious Sonnets," a collection of eight love poems.
This May Cat Fitzpatrick is making a series of Very Platonic stops around the North-West to Talk About Love and Drink Moderate Amounts of Wine. Surely this can only turn out well!
Come see Cat read from her new book The Dinner Party: A Book About Love and talk to brilliant transsexual intellectuals at several fine BOOKSTORES and (if you are so minded) join her at several fine BARS afterwards.And remember: the unexamined life is totally worth living!
