Very excited to see Chicago writer and TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Gina Frangello being interviewed at The Big Other about the release of her quite fine short story collection Slut Lullabies. Please do take a look and please do obtain a copy of Slut Lullabies because it just might change your life. Meanwhile, feel free to prep for the interview with the below excerpt and if you still find that this just isn't quite enough Frangello for your liking, please also feel free to check-out our recent podcast with her. It's quite scintillating to say the least.Davis: What feelings will reading Slut Lullabies induce in the reader?
Gina: Well, of course who knows, right? The stories in the collection are not related, so I hope they induce a range of feelings. Some are fairly satirical or a little goofy, and even the darker ones are, I hope, funny in their own way. But mainly I hear that my writing tends to make people emotionally uncomfortable. All the blurbs on the back of the book say this in one form or another, I think. Most people who have said this mean it in a good way. A few—mainly in corporate New York publishing—have meant it in a negative way. But I like the idea of my work making people uncomfortable. To me, if that’s true, it’s a great compliment.
