“Sexing The Cherry” And Sexing The Teresa Who Reads It

[youtube oRC2UH9X27Y 628 353]For the most part, it seems like the lovely and literate Teresa is holding it together in her Hysterical Literature video. A few tremors run through her body here and there, but she holds it together and trudges on through "Sexing the Cherry." That is, until the end comes, and then Teresa comes, and then the book in her hand may as well be written in cuneiform.

We get giddy every time Clayton Cubitt releases one of these videos. We don't know what we're more excited to find out: what book is being read or how the reader responds to the stimulation. It's hard to compare one to the other, and really, both facets are equally interesting. We also love what a wide range of reading we're being exposed to! We've never read "Sexing the Cherry," but Teresa chose a passage that's so elegantly grotesque and visceral that we have to get the book! Right now, our top two problems in life are not getting laid enough and not reading enough books. What's the solution? Blam: Hysterical Literature.
