EDNA BONHOMME

Launching my European book tour for A History of the World in Six Plagues. The first event will be held at Artless Gallery & Bookstore with Cole Stangler in Marseille.

In one month, my book, A History of the World in Six Plagues, will be published. If you can, please pre-order the book. Also, I’ll be in Miami and New York City for two book-related events in March.

Teaching at the Arts School in Berlin.

As someone born and raised in Miami, driving through the state allows me to work through the many contradictions of the place I once called home. Although I have not lived in Florida since I was eighteen, understanding the ways that like-minded people continue to uphold pregnant people's bodily autonomy is important to me. I want to comprehend how pro-choice activists, medical staff, and lawyers continue to fight against a repressive government that has rescinded women’s rights, gay rights, and transgender rights over the past decade.

Now that I am a contributing writer for Frieze, I will be writing more art exhibition reviews and profiles.

The program supports writing about contemporary art and aims to ensure that critical writing remains a valued mode of engaging with the visual arts.

After Sex provides personal and political perspectives from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, setting feminist classics alongside contemporary accounts and highlighting the experiences of women of colour and working-class women.

The fall has brought a whirlwind of interviews with neuroscientists, activists, and writers. I published two book reviews in the Washington Post and The Nation.

The funding will allow me to continue researching and writing about abortion access, as I have done in my upcoming co-edited anthology, After Sex (Silver Press, 2023). As many people know, reproductive freedom continues to be dear to my heart, and I want to narrate stories that move us enough to grant justice to all. More than anything, I am grateful for my friends, comrades, and interlocutors who put confidence in my prose.

Some highlights from my recent essays in Esquire, The Nation, and Frieze.

An announcement about my upcoming books.

My collaborator and I went through a pandemic, coordinated from different time zones, and underwent major life changes. We were mourning our past lives while also holding dear to our labor and our commitment to producing scholarship about medicine, disease, and psychiatry.
