{"product_id":"sweetlust-stories-9781952177729","title":"Sweetlust: Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe eleven stories in \u003ci\u003eSweetlust\u003c\/i\u003e interweave feminist critique, intertextuality, and science fiction tropes in an irreverent portrait of our past, present, and future.\u003c\/b\u003eIn a dystopian world with no men, women are \"rehabilitated\" at an erotic amusement park. Climate change has caused massive flooding and warming in the Balkans, where one programmer builds a time machine. And a devious reimagining of \u003ci\u003eThe Sorrows of Young Werther\u003c\/i\u003e refocuses to center a sexually adventurous Charlotte.Asja Bakic deploys the speculative and weird to playfully interrogate conversations around artificial intelligence, gender fluidity, and environmental degradation. As she did in her acclaimed debut \u003ci\u003eMars\u003c\/i\u003e, Bakic once again upends her characters' convictions and identities--and infuses each disorienting universe with sly humor and off-kilter eroticism. Visceral and otherworldly, \u003ci\u003eSweetlust\u003c\/i\u003e takes apart human desire and fragility, repeatedly framing pleasure as both inviting and perilous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952177729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Asja Bakic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42567562264757,"sku":"9781952177729","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6c9003b2-cfc5-41a3-9cff-8a1a1f5fd44b.jpg?v=1671551767","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sweetlust-stories-9781952177729","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
