Jag vet inte om det är på allvar, men i New York 5 mars kan man köpa biljett
(25 dollar) till ett evenemang där nakna flickor läser science fiction inför
publik:
http://io9.com/5469851/let-a-live-nude-girl-read-science-fiction-to-you
Det organiseras av The Pinchbottom Burlesque ("burlesk" är i USA ofta
omskrivning för striptease) och plats är en klubb kallad Madam X. Sf-siten Io9
skriver bl a:
"Among the readers is Nasty Canasta, who has been known to dress up as a
naughty version of both the fourth and tenth Doctors from Doctor Who. ...
Tor.com attended one of their previous events, devoted to banned books, and
wrote:
The effect on the crowd, mostly couples, was intoxicating. During the erotic
readings, there were hoots and hollers. When Jo Boobs read a shockingly
explicit passage from 1748's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, involving two
women holding a third's legs wide apart for the pleasure of a young man, the
catcalls came loud and fast. But during the non-erotic readings, the audience
fell into rapt attention. ...
But the performance of the night belonged to Sapphire Jones, who read the Death
of Snowden scene from Catch-22. Standing tall and straight as a lamppost, with
light inflection and perfect rhythm, Sapphire evoked the bleak sorrow of
Yossarian's inability to save, or even comfort, the dying Snowden beyond feebly
repeating "There, there. There, there." That she was tall, trim, and not
wearing a stitch of clothing meant very little by the end of her reading,
compared to the stark beauty of Joseph Heller's devastating prose.
The event is an offshoot of Naked Girls Reading, a series started in Chicago
and featured on various TV shows. Besides Asimov and Adams, they say featured
authors will include Aldous Huxley and H.G. Wells — but here's hoping they
include some female authors too, since it's a bit odd to have naked women
reading only works by men."
Möjligen kan man se det som ett desperat försök att göra sf-genren populärare.
När ordnar SF-bokhandeln något sådant här? Jag bara undrar!
