Publisher's summary

Selections from the work of radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin, famous for her antipornography stance and role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s.

Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. She still looms large in feminist demands for sexual freedom, evoked as a censorial demagogue, more than a decade after her death. Among the very first writers to use her own experiences of rape and battery in a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy, Dworkin was a philosopher outside and against the academy who wrote with a singular, apocalyptic urgency.

Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. The collection charts her path from the militant primer Woman Hating (1974), to the formally complex polemics of Pornography (1979) and Intercourse (1987) and the raw experimentalism of her final novel Mercy (1990). It also includes “Goodbye to All This” (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript that calls out her feminist adversaries, and “My Suicide” (1999), a despairing long-form essay found on her hard drive after her death in 2005.

Painful

This is a brutal book, and it's well written. It's not a fun read though. I couldn't finish it because of how upset it made me.

Almost perfect reading

The writing is fierce and powerful. I give the narrator the highest marks: she does an amazing job communicating the passion, pain, and intensity of the brilliant Dworkin.

Perspective of a Male Ally

To the men who dare to read this book, just listen one good time without dismissing the ideas presented. This book was well written and performed. Note that the perspective taking can be overwhelming at times, but the late author make great points. With that said, I wanted to learn more about radical feminism, beyond college and grad school, and I got more than my money and time’s worth. For anyone beginning a journey to understand the oft oversimplified voices of radical feminists, this is a good start. I encourage readers to explore other intersectional oriented views on feminism as well.

Must read

This is a must read for every girl and woman. Big disappointment that with all so called “victory” of feminist values we are remaining in the depth of tragedy of being woman trapped in male way of thinking dominated society
