Guests who read the book prior to the event will be better able to participate in the wide-ranging discussion. Those interested may order Club 42: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy here. Released via Cleis Press on February 16, Club 42: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy, Joanna Angel’s second novel, is a funny, steamy story created by one of the adult entertainment industry's powerful feminist icons. According to a synopsis provided by the publisher, after spending a year in Singapore working on her senior thesis and practically flunking out of film school, Naomi finds herself working at an average coffee shop in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. She loves coffee but does not love serving it and is fired one afternoon after spilling a cup of coffee all over a customer and her white pantsuit. With her rent due in a few days, Naomi is desperate to find a new job. On her walk back to the subway, Naomi trips and falls, landing right in front of what would soon be her new place of employment: Club 42, a strip club located in Times Square. Naomi goes inside on a whim and finds herself agreeing to audition, stripping out of her polka dot summer dress and kitten heels and earning a spot on the day shift. But what happens next, since this novel is "interactive," is up to the reader as Naomi navigates through her day shifts at Club 42. Should she give an old crush a lap dance? Give her ex the "extras" in the VIP room? Get dominated in a dungeon? Tell her not-quite-boyfriend about her career path? Indulge in her attraction to her beautiful coworkers? Or leave her life of dancing as quickly as she starts it? No matter which path is chosen, the reader will get an insider's glimpse into the erotic, neon world of New York strip clubs. Fans and reviewers have had only good things to say about Club 42: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy: “I smiled a lot, laughed, commiserated, empathized, missed New York City, got envious, got a few boners, and ended up hiring a cruel Dominatrix who does house calls. I assume like most fans of Miss Angel after reading her book, I felt hot, bothered, dirty, and in desperate need of a sound beating!” —Fat Mike, producer and lead vocalist for the punk rock band NOFX “Joanna Angel further cements her title as the new queen of literary erotica with Club 42; a labyrinth of thrilling, narrative choices, woven together with enviable skill!”—Colin McCracken, Features Writer at Hustler. “Joanna writes like your funny adventurous best friend who wants to do it all and puts you in the driver’s seat. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for some sexual inspiration with some hot twists.”—Emily Morse, Doctor of Human Sexuality, and CEO & founder of the podcast Sex With Emily. Angel's first novel, Night Shift, was featured on Cosmopolitan’s list of “36 Legitimately Good Erotic Novels You Must Read,” and was regarded by book clubs and reviewers as an honest, insightful, funny and inclusive work of fiction. Angel broke barriers and paved her own way in the adult industry, and she’s now doing the same in the world of erotic literature.
