That might seem dramatic until you hear the context: I saw this tweet while Netflix’s The Lovebirds played in the background, moments after I’d googled the film’s entire cast. But between you and me, I did smile for a few hours that year after seeing a viral tweet by tweet read, Bisexuals will be 20 mins into a movie and type in ‘cast of’ on google, and it shook me to my core. There was one high point of my pandemic that I probably won’t mention to my kids (mostly because it involved Twitter, and I’m sure future parenting books will advise against bringing up the internet whatsoever). And she had a mental health crisis trying to find purpose under capitalism, which drove her to domesticity and inspired her to have you." She got drunk exactly once when the United States elected a mediocre Democrat. While health care and essential workers fought tirelessly, Mommy became a grand master playing the app version of Hasbro’s Risk.
When these children inevitably climb onto my lap and ask how I spent quarantine, I’ll respond: "Kids, it was a trying time. SINCE THERE WASN’T much to do in 2020 besides fixate on the future, I’ve already played out an exchange I’ll someday have with my kids. I WANT A WORD FOR THIS CUFFED JEANS AND FEELING SEEN This book inspires us to rethink the world as we know it, reminding us that Greedy was a superpower all along. Greedy shows us that being bisexual is about so much more than who you’re sleeping with-it’s about finding stability in a state of flux and defining yourself on your own terms. She sheds light on the reasons women, queer people, and other marginalized groups tend to make ourselves smaller, provoking the question: What would happen if we suddenly stopped?
With her clever voice and clear-eyed insight, Jen draws on personal experiences with sexism and biphobia to understand how we all can and must do better.
Greedy follows Jen’s attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be “queer enough,” and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you’re the posterchild for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused. Jen’s provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood “girl crush,” an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex. Or wait-maybe she isn’t? Actually, she definitely is. If Jen Winston knows one thing for sure, it’s that she’s bisexual. Perfect for fans of Lindy West, Samantha Irby, and Rebecca Solnit-and anyone who wants, and deserves, to be seen. Named one of the Best Books of 2021 by Oprah Daily, Glamour, Shondaland, BuzzFeed, and more!Ī hilarious and whip-smart collection of essays, offering an intimate look at bisexuality, gender, and, of course, sex.
