In the mood for something new?
Emerging Arts is thrilled to introduce Cupcake at Lolita, a new
reading series featuring kickass women writers.
Please join us for the launch party on Wednesday, June
11, at 7:30pm, featuring Donna Minkowitz and Aury
Wallington.
Donna Minkowitz is the author of the Lambda Literary
Award winning memoir Ferocious Romance. A feature
witer for the Village Voice for eight years, she has
performed her work at The Kitchen and is at work on a
new childhood memoir she describes as, "sort of a
cross between "Dr. Seuss and Primo Levi." Minkowitz
has also won writing awards from Radcliffe and GLAAD,
and written for Salon.com.
Aury Wallington has worked as Script Coordinator on
the HBO show "Sex and the City" for the past five
years, and will be writing for the show this season.
She has published a number of stories and articles,
and won the 1999 MTV Short Fiction Contest.
Cupcake takes place at Lolita, located on the Lower
East Side at 266 broome St. (between Orchard and
Allen).

More about Cupcake:
Perhaps you've noticed a big pink pile of books in
your local Barnes and Noble about women, shoes,
wanting to lose fifteen pounds, snagging a husband,
and working for bitchy New York ladies with harsh
haircuts.
Perhaps, week after week, you've counted up the 0-2
(super-established) women published in the New Yorker,
counted up the 9-13 men, and come to depressing
conclusions you wish you could've reached before you
decided to become a writer, get educated, and take out
all those loans. Same goes for the New York Times
Review of Books. The New York Times Magazine.
Perhaps the only thing you could think to do about
this was to start a literary chapter of the Guerrilla
Girls, but you had to check in with your temp agency
first.
Perhaps you're not a writer, perhaps you're just cool,
and you want to come out to hear some amazing,
grown-up, talented, punk rock, experienced, serious
women writers read work that will inspire you and give
you little tingles everywhere.
Perhaps you have been wondering: where are the
literary versions of PJ Harvey and Sleater-Kinney?
Perhaps you'd like a Cupcake:
Because you've had enough chick-lit and it's time for
dessert.
