Since garnering wide attention with The Letters of Mina Harker — an epistolary reworking of Bram Stoker's Dracula that mixed literary allusion and real-life gossip, Gothic horror and postmodern poetics — local author Dodie Bellamy has continued to explore the messy entanglements of sexuality, politics, and pop culture. Whether trying on autobiographical fiction in Pink Steam or snipping her prose to ribbons à la William S. Burroughs in the cheekily titled Cunt-Ups, Bellamy's writing disregards the supposed boundaries between fact and fiction, simultaneously questioning the techniques of both. Tonight Bellamy, the current CCA writer-in-residence, lectures about her craft.
