About this listen
Selections from the work of radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin, famous for her antipornography stance and role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s.
Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. She still looms large in feminist demands for sexual freedom, evoked as a censorial demagogue, more than a decade after her death. Among the very first writers to use her own experiences of rape and battery in a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy, Dworkin was a philosopher outside and against the academy who wrote with a singular, apocalyptic urgency.
Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. The collection charts her path from the militant primer Woman Hating (1974), to the formally complex polemics of Pornography (1979) and Intercourse (1987) and the raw experimentalism of her final novel Mercy (1990). It also includes “Goodbye to All This” (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript that calls out her feminist adversaries, and “My Suicide” (1999), a despairing long-form essay found on her hard drive after her death in 2005.

Powerful primer on Andrea Drowrkin's work
The narration was excellent and the bok itself was a comprehensive and important primer to introduce the reader to Andrea Dworkin's work. Andrea Dworkin was a deep and important thinker and activist. She's also a brilliant and powerful writer.

Chilling, Real, Unrelenting
Listening to Andrea Dworkin audio books in isolation while I walk each day makes me walk far and is all the motivation I need to get outside. She is incredible. What I love about her is that she never explains a woman's experience or perspective as if she is obligated to convince. She starts right there in the guts of it and takes you with her no matter how uncomfortable it is. She expects a lot. I think that is a gift, because if you trust her, she has answers.
