| Robin Glasser, author |
We were both on the bill for a literary reading event in 2010. She enjoyed my excerpt on fellatio, I was sucked into her excerpt on being seduced in Paris. She informed me about Word Up bookshop the opportunity to have copies of my book sold there and we later shared the stage at an event she organized. Then along came a nude young man and my camera. On a sultry Saturday, we met in Chinatown while passersby listening in on our conversation.

My name is Robin Glasser, like Batman and Robin,
R-O-B-I-N, I’m not fancy, and I’m a writer. I’m an author. I have one book
called Men At Work, which is
fully illustrated and it actually comes with a guarantee to put twinkles in
your eyes and sparkles in your pants. Somebody gave me a video camera to make
little movies and I put them on YouTube and the very first poem they have now
taken off so I’m at war with YouTube. My other book is My Life as a Concubine which is actually a roman à clef—I lived in Paris for 3 years—I changed the
names to protect the guilty. Besides a love story, there’s recipes, there’s
tips of France and great places to
visit. I’ve just finished my third book, The Brain Exchange, which I call a "Sex-Fi"
and the punchline is, “If you could walk in someone else’s shoes, would they
fit?” It takes place in the not-too-distant future and the latest thing is
instead of taking a vacation to an exotic land you can actually exchange brains
and take a vacation in someone else’s body. And the whole plot revolves around
a bodybuilder and a super plus size woman and what ensues.
