LIBRARY SCIENCE BY KAIA GERBER

For Valentine’s Day, we built a dirty reading list with our friends at @forloveandlemons 🥀 We also made a little lingerie bag which can double as a single book bag 🪽Our list of literary erotica includes narrative fiction about love, desire, intimacy; theory about our relationship to the body; poetry for heartbreak - the angry kind. And of course, we’ve included a few titles you’ll find in the banned books section — each rejected, at the time they were initially published, for being too provocative, too obscene. It’s important to us that we note: most of these books are much older than we are and many are translations. We built it this way to acknowledge that eroticism is and has always been an important entry point into art, literature, and everything else. Enjoy 🏹
