Awards and Honors

The 2024 Cara Parravani Memorial Award in Fiction for “The Looking Glass Dildos” – Judged by Christa Parravani

“The Looking Glass Dildos’ is a risky, longing, wise, and unforgettable story. It’s told from the distance of years, by one member of a young couple who’d attended a sex workshop with her then girlfriend; the famous and highly questionable sex educator who’d invited them, had admired and shamed the narrator. Through a momentous and uncomfortable group sex workshop, where a hand-crafted glass dildo is stolen, this story voices the pain of a young woman coming of age as a writer in academia. Here, in these pages, the writer grapples with privacy, desire, insecurity, hiding, sexual identity, and the painful and confusing ways in which young women are easily exploited by older, powerful teachers.” – Christa Parravani
