Yes indeed, I am the only male author represented in this select anthology of women writers. What an honor! This book, edited by Sara Silberstein Swartz & Margie Wolfe, also features the work of Melanie Kay/Kantrowitz, Helena Lipstadt, Irena Klepfisz and others.
Denial of the Fittest: excavations of untold truths and other outbursts, [co-written by Warren Lehrer & Judith Sloan, directed by Lehrer, performed by Sloan] is a one woman show, that interweaves family secrets and public lies. Featuring a dozen characters in the person of actress performance artist Judith Sloan, this funny and haunting work traverses family taboos, nervous breakthroughs, nuclear meltdowns, beauty school and an ever-expanding hole in the ozone layer. It is a chronicle of memory and transformation, based on Judith’s own coming to terms with the deaths of her father and grandmother when she was a young girl. Denial of the Fittest is a madcap look at the effects of whispers, silence and lies within a nuclear family and the nuclear secrets of a global family. Running time: one hour, twenty minutes. Workshop performances originally developed at La Mama ETC. It received critical acclaim at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has been produced in theaters, universities and conferences throughout the USA and in Canada.

“Life is a post-modern neo-fascist garbage dump and Judith Sloan determinedly rakes through the detritus. Denial of the Fittest is a highly articulate show... funny, intimate, sexy and very frightening...”
