About this Event
<blockquote>"A pharmacornucopia of sensory pleasures, Adam Zmith's Deep Sniff is an entire queer curriculum opened up by poppers."</blockquote>
A talk, reading and Q&A by Adam Zmith, author of Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures at the creative and colourful Morocco Bound bookshop, just off Bermondsey Street.
Blending historical research with wry observation, Adam Zmith explores the cultural forces and improbable connections behind the power of poppers. What emerges is not just a history of pub raids, viral panics and pecs the size of dinner plates. It is a collection of fresh and provocative ideas about identity, sex, utopia, capitalism, law, freedom and the bodies that we use to experience the world. In Deep Sniff, what starts as a thoughtful enquiry into poppers becomes a manifesto for pleasure.
Copies of the book will be available in store from 14/09.
