“The Dinner Party is brilliant, hot, uproarious, and gay as hell: at once a high-wire camp performance and an aching tribute to the sounds and shapes of our language.” —Maggie Millner, author of Couplets: A Love Story

Cat Fitzpatrick returns to the chaotic and adorable world of the trans femme with The Dinner Party, a jubilant celebration of queerness and a tender ode to how communities are formed through fostering support, joy, and love.

In the title piece, a riotous post-pandemic dinner party inspires musings on love and gender. Then there is “A Stay in the Country,” a short arcadian pageant; “Baby Book,” about the trials and tribulations of making babies as queer and transsexual couples; “Letter to Crabstick,” an epistolary friendship; and “Uxorious Sonnets,” a collection of eight love poems.
