Sky Daddy and Soft Core: The New Sexuality of San Francisco with authors Kate Folk + Brittany Newell
Join authors Kate Folk and Brittany Newell in conversation on their recent novels, Sky Daddy and Soft Core. Subverting the classic love story, Folk and Newell spin tales that are surreal, funny, unhinged, and unexpectedly heartwarming. Co-sponsored by The Ruby, a collective of Bay Area nonbinary, transfeminine, and woman-identified creatives.
About Sky Daddy
Linda knows that she can’t tell anyone she’s sexually obsessed with planes. Nor can she reveal her belief that it’s her destiny to “marry” one of her suitors, uniting with her soulmate plane for eternity. Both subversive and unexpectedly heartwarming, Sky Daddy hijacks the classic love story, exploring desire, fate, and the longing to be accepted for who we truly are.
“Sleek and darkly comical . . . with the melancholic wit and whimsy of Miranda July.”—The Boston Globe
About Soft Core
Ruth is living in a drafty Victorian with her ex-boyfriend Dino, overdosing on television and regretting her master’s degree. When she starts dancing at a strip club, she becomes Baby Blue, seductress of crypto bros, outcasts, and old lovers alike. Then Dino disappears without a trace.
Thus begins a nocturnal quest for the one she still loves; a brutally funny, propulsive story of power, fantasy, love, and loss, Soft Core is an ode to the heartbroken and unhinged, to those whose appetites lead them astray.
“Vivid . . . Exhilarating . . . Soft Core is pacey and rich, full of verve, drama and detail.” —The New York Times Book Review
