PHILADELPHIA: The Erotic Literary Salon, unique in the English-speaking world has launched a growing movement mainstreaming erotica. Salons attract a supportive audience of 40 or more individuals. Approximately half participate as writers, readers, storytellers, spoken word performers of original works/words of others, the rest just come to listen, enjoy and applaud. Frances, our resident nonagenarian (93 years young) often recites her original erotica.
The next Salon will be held Tuesday, July 20. Part of the evening will feature Jim Zervanos reading from his novel Love Park the story of 26-year-old Peter Pappas, whose affair with an exotic widow jump-starts his journey into adulthood. w w w . j i m z e r v a n o s . c o m
