Writing Sex: Adib Khorram
WRITING SEX is a series of short interviews with contemporary writers who are breaking new ground in writing about sex and sexuality. Sometimes ribald but always smart, these writers push the limits of our ability to imagine what sex is, what it means, and what it could be.

HOST: Jonathan Alexander, Special Projects Editor at LARB and Chancellor’s Professor of English at the University of California, Irvine http://www.the-blank-page.com

ADIB KHORRAM is the author of Darius the Great Is Not OK and Darius the Great Deserves Better.

Guest interviewer: Nasrin Rahimieh is Howard Baskerville Professor of Humanities at the University of California, Irvine. She is the author, most recently, of Iranian Culture: Representation and Identity.
