Jenny's Delightfully Silly Slambook Entry!
Lana Del Rey, the Beach Boys & a Pug Named Lois – Curious Yet?
"Pretty Silly Slambook” - a profile series where we ask our favourite artists, scientists, musicians, and more. It's a bit of a cultural time capsule project.
The idea is to move away from the usual Spotify playlists and Netflix recommendations, and instead, let everyday people like us share their favourite discoveries without any fancy algorithms or influencer stuff.
Meet Jenny Fran Davis – author of Dykette and Everything Must Go!
Jenny is a novelist, avid reader, and pug lover who calls Brooklyn home. This fall, she’s been teaching creative writing at Stony Brook University, taking reflective walks in Prospect Park, and working on her next novel – a compelling story about love, betrayal, and adulthood.
Follow Jenny on Instagram, check out her books on Goodreads, and buy Dykette and Everything Must Go on Amazon!
