ONLINE EVENT: Roundtable Reading of Excerpts of The Decameron

Thursday March 25 * 830pm * ONLINE EVENT

A participatory roundtable reading of Classic Plague Smut: excerpts from The Decameron, "a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375). The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city.... The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic." (Wikipedia)

Text dates from 14th Century Italy. It is not politically correct, but it is refreshingly affirming of women's libidos and agency. 18+. Yes it's for fun, and inappropriate behavior is not fun. Anyone who says/texts/does anything they ought not to will be immediately booted from the meeting....
