Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about — from ordering the “right” food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classical music and architecture to legitimate theater and the opposite sex. With the timely information and savvy advice in this book, playfully illustrated with New Yorker-esque line drawings, you will be the most scintillating conversationalist in the bunch — whether you are faking it or not!
Genre:
-
"Forthright, provocative, and studded with irony, Alptraum's incisive discussion calls for more flexibility, openness, conversation, and variety around sexual narratives and, most crucially, believing women."Publishers Weekly **starred review**
-
"Alptraum holds social codes, pop-culture narratives, and media myths up to the light to help readers understand why women internalize sexual shame-but also to encourage us to stop doing so."Bitch
-
"This book is a brilliant and necessary part of the conversation, and it cements Alptraum as one of our most essential contemporary voices on sex and gender."Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties
-
"Quite literally a revelation....Alptraum sets a cleansing fire to myths about sex, shame, and deception that have been hiding in plain sight for centuries."Andi Zeisler, author of We Were Feminists Once
-
"This is a mind blower of a read. A completely fresh perspective."Jenny Lumet, screenwriter, Rachel Getting Married
-
"Lux Alptraum is a fearless and frequently hilarious guide through the murky waters of 21st-century sexual politics, one who never settles for the easy answers. Faking It shows that in sex -- as in so much else -- what women do matters less than why they do it."Sady Doyle, author of Trainwreck
