“A radical defense of laziness as a world-making practice for queer and trans Latinx artists.” — Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Marcos Gonsalez for a discussion of his newest book, Revolting Indolence: a case for laziness as an aesthetic-political strategy, arguing that slacking off, lounging, daydreaming, and partying are liberatory practices — revolts that in turn are treated as revolting — and exploring how queer and trans Latinx artists refute discourses in which work is a moral good.

Marcos will be joined in conversation by Christopher González, author of I’m Not Hungry But I Could Eat and fiction editor of Barrelhouse. After the discussion and audience Q&A, Marcos will sign copies of Revolting Indolence.
