Perfect for fans of Samantha Irby and Trick Mirror, a funny,
whip-smart collection of personal essays exploring the intersection
of queerness, relationships, pop culture, the internet, and
identity, introducing one of the most undeniably original new
voices today. Jill Gutowitz's life-for better and worse-has always
been on a collision course with pop culture. There's the time the
FBI showed up at her door because of something she tweeted about
Game of Thrones. The pop songs that have been the soundtrack to the
worst moments of her life. And of course, the pivotal day when
Orange Is the New Black hit the airwaves and broke down the door to
Jill's own sexuality. In these honest examinations of identity,
desire, and self-worth, Jill explores perhaps the most monumental
cultural shift of our lifetimes: the mainstreaming of lesbian
culture. Dusting off her own personal traumas and artifacts of her
not-so-distant youth she examines how pop culture acts as a fun
house mirror reflecting and refracting our values-always teaching,
distracting, disappointing, and revealing us. Girls Can Kiss Now is
a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp
observations, and laugh-out-loud humor. This timely collection of
essays helps us make sense of our collective pop-culture past even
as it points the way toward a joyous, uproarious, near-and very
queer-future.
