Author Talk: Zachary Zane with Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto

Seating is limited, please RSVP to attend.

A sex and relationship columnist bares it all in a series of essays—part memoir, part manifesto—exploring his coming-of-age and coming out as a bisexual man moving toward an embrace and celebration of sex unencumbered by shame.

Boyslut (Abrams Image; May 9, 2023; U.S. $26.00; Hardcover) is a series of personal and tantalizing essays that articulate how our society still shames people for the sex that they have and the sexualities that they inhabit. Through the lens of his bisexuality and much self-described sluttiness, Zane breaks down exactly how this sexual shame negatively impacts the sex and relationships in our lives and, through personal experience, shares how we can unlearn the harmful, entrenched messages that society imparts to us.

Zachary Zane is a Brooklyn-based columnist, sex expert, and activist whose work focuses on sexuality, culture, and the LGBTQ community. He’s the co-author of Men’s Health: Best. Sex. Ever. He currently has two columns: “Sexplain It” the sex and relationship advice column at Men’s Health, and “Navigating Non-Monogamy” at Cosmo, where he shares all the mistakes he’s made in his polyamory journey, so you don’t have to. He is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Boyslut zine, which publishes real sex stories from kinksters worldwide. His work on sexuality and relationships has been published in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, GQ, OUT, and many others.

Zachary will join us to read from his new book and then join in a moderated discussion and Q&A session. Cafe con Libros will provide on-site book sales for those wishing to purchase the book at the event.
