Why people recommend it
Last Days at Hot Slit is an anthology gathering the provocative and influential writings of feminist theorist Andrea Dworkin, edited by Joanna Fateman and Amy Scholder. The book was featured on The Book Review podcast on July 18, 2024, in the episode titled Isaac Mizrahi on His New Memoir. During the broadcast, book critic Jennifer Szalai introduced her review of the newly published anthology, explaining that the collection was put together by Fateman and Scholder to reintroduce Dworkin's fierce and uncompromising critical essays to contemporary readers. Host Pamela Paul subsequently summarized Szalai's segment during the introduction, highlighting the work alongside Cara Robertson's book about Lizzie Borden as key subjects of critical discussion on the program. The conversation underscored the enduring relevance and controversial nature of Dworkin's ideas regarding gender, power, and pornography. By bringing the anthology to the attention of listeners, the podcast participants provided a platform for re-evaluating a foundational yet frequently misunderstood voice in feminist literature, encouraging audiences to engage with the depth and rigour of Dworkin's extensive body of critical thought.
