Xtra Hot: Katie

‘The process of writing a play is the loneliest descent into madness I’ve ever known’

Name: Katie Sly

Age: 27

Sign: Aquarius

“The process of writing a play is the loneliest descent into madness I’ve ever known,” says bisexual playwright and performer Katie Sly. “I write from my experience, my bowels, my cunt, and it costs something huge. It’s worth it — it’s more than worth it — to have the privilege to share my soul, but it demands a willingness to go temporarily insane.” Sly has a passion for mid-century-modern furniture, her favourite clothes are corsets made out of red hemp, and when asked how she likes to get fucked says, “Past the point of civility.”

Sly hosts Too Queer: A Bi Visibility Cabaret, Fri, June 6 at Videofag, 187 Augusta Ave.

The cover of Alice Stoehr's Again, Harder. The book has black letters on a lilac background. In the middle of the cover is a red rectangle with a black line drawing of it. The drawing is of two figures entangled; they have human bodies but animal heads. The same image serves as the background behind the image of the book cover.
