desirelines book club: episode 4

The desirelines book club is hosted at desirelines book shop by multi award-winning writer Monika Radojevic. This is a book club that will explore the messiness, intimacy and complexity of desire, sex and sexuality in literature. Expect a carefully curated selection of books and open-minded, respectful discussions where everyone is welcome. Our next pick is 'Sky Daddy' by Kate Folk Linda tries her best to lead a normal life. But once a month she escapes to the airport to secretly indulge in her true passion: Linda is sexually attracted to planes, and believes it is her destiny to someday marry one by dying in a fiery crash. When the opportunity arises to hasten her romantic fate, Linda must choose between the trappings of an ordinary life and succumbing to her deepest desires. Grab a copy and join us at the store on 6 October at 7pm. Luma registration essential. About the book club: as the famous saying goes: everything is about sex except sex. sex is about power. the ways that literature portrays sex are a reflection of taboos, social norms, human desires and emotional intimacy. they can also be a reflection of the person that wrote them, their biases and privileges, their unique insights into vulnerable, pleasurable or dangerous moments. we want to explore the many ways these themes come up in some of the best literature around.
