Author: Frankie Miren; Alison Rumfitt & Morgan M. Page (intro)
The histories of the trans and sex worker rights movements are closely intertwined and it's rare to find a carceral feminist who isn't also a transphobe. What does it mean to write as part of a community that is under attack? Where, in fiction, is the line between exploring harmful ideology and humanising it? In 'Morbid Obsessions' Alison Rumfitt and Frankie Miren cover the pornographic interest in sex workers and trans women, online violence, moral panic, creative representation, and pay tribute to sex worker and trans activism through fiction. Frank, funny, and hopeful, and featuring two new stories and an introduction by writer and historian Morgan M. Page, 'Morbid Obsessions' is an urgent and vital conversation about making art as collective struggle.
ISBN 9781739784959. Cipher Press. pb. 112 pages. 19.8 x 12.9 cm.
