Love Stinks

Love. Yikes. That ole thing can be a trifle nasty, huh? Or really nasty. Or the absolute nastiest thing that conceivably ever happened to you, reaching deep into the core of your being and diminishing your very capacity for joy. Well, at least there’s some small comfort in knowing the even folks who were vastly smarter than you still managed to cock this thing up. And nudity. There’s a lot of comfort in nudity. With Naked Girls Reading: Love Stinks at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, you get a bit of both salves, with the aforementioned ladies of literotica rattling passages from Andrew Shaffer’s Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love.
