The Thick and the Lean Book launch with Chana Porter 01.02.24 in Berlin, Lettrétage

The Berlin Writers' Workshop presents a reading with Chana Porter to celebrate the launch of THE THICK AND THE LEAN.

Lambda Award finalist Chana Porter's THE THICK AND THE LEAN is a startling fable of the entwined perils of capitalism, body politics, and the stigmas women face for appetites of every kind. Join in the conversation exploring topics such as Big Agriculture and land rights, pleasure as rebellion, and how imagined realities might offer a clearer perspective on the world.

Chana Porter is a novelist, playwright, teacher, MacDowell fellow, and cofounder of The Octavia Project, a STEM and writing program for girls and trans and nonbinary youth that uses speculative fiction to envision greater possibilities for our world. Her debut novel THE SEEP was an ABA Indie Next Pick, Open Letters Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Book of 2020, a 2021 Lambda Literary Award Finalist, and a Times (UK) Best Sci-fi Book of 2021. Her latest novel THE THICK AND THE LEAN is out now from Saga/Simon&Schuster and Titan Books (UK)
