{"product_id":"naked-fancy-feast-9781643752372","title":"Naked: On Sex, Work, and Other Burlesques","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNaked\u003c\/i\u003e, a celebrated burlesque performer, sex educator, and social worker bares it all, with incisive and hilarious essays about selling, performing, and consuming desire.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fancy Feast draws back the curtain to reveal a world that most denizens of the daytime never see. Part exclusive backstage pass, part long-form literary striptease, these essays confront our culture's tightly held beliefs--like so many clutched pearls--about sex, communication, power, and the messiness of life on the margins of respectability. In \"Dildo Lady,\" Fancy recounts her time compensating for the failures of the American sex education system while working retail at a sex toy store. In \"Doing Yourself,\" Fancy tackles fatphobia and dating, self-love, and fantasies. In \"Yes\/No\/Maybe,\" Fancy brings the reader from sex parties to polyamorous relationships as she contrasts the undeniable sexiness of enthusiastic consent with the devastating effects of miscommunication and entitlement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fancy Feast does this all as a fat woman who makes a living taking off her clothes--a triumphant punch-back at a culture that wants fat people to be self-hating or sexless. For fans of Lindy West and Melissa Febos, \u003ci\u003eNaked\u003c\/i\u003e is by turns splashy, vulnerable, and always powerful. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fancy Feast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643752375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643752372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2023 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2023","brand":"Fancy Feast","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133539578111,"sku":"9781643752372","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f14d61db-7ae7-4ac0-b69b-a389e2c4fdbd.jpg?v=1687486729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/naked-fancy-feast-9781643752372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
