Zustand: Brand New. Popular American fiction has now secured a routine position in the higher education classroom despite its historic status as culturally suspect. This newfound respect and inclusion have almost certainly changed the pedagogical landscape, and Teaching Tainted Lit explores that altered terrain.

Vintage handbill for the 1985 play, staged from January 3 through 27, 1985, at New York's La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club on East 4th Street. Jackie Curtis' final theatrical appearance before their death of an accidental overdose on May 15, 1985. Founded in 1961 by African American "Off-Off Broadway" pioneer Ellen Stewart, La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club (often stylized as "La MaMa ETC.") became home for the underfunded and the underrepresented, giving theatre innovators with diverse backgrounds a space to develop their art. Avant-garde, genderfluid performer Jackie Curtis was born on the Lower East Side, studying at the High School of Art and Design, Hunter College, and the Actors Studio in their youth. Curtis met Stewart as a teenager, and would both write and star in many plays in association with the theater. Curtis is perhaps best remembered today for their tenure as a Warhol superstar, appearing in the films "Andy Warhol's Flesh" (1968) and "Women in Revolt" (1971). They are also today considered a pioneer and early inspiration to the glam rock movement of the 1970s and 1980s. 5.5 x 4.25 inches. Recto only. About Fine.
