MATTILDA, A.K.A. MATT BERNSTEIN SYCAMORE is a prancer, a romancer, and a fugitive. She’s the author of a novel, Pulling Taffy, and the editor of three non-fiction anthologies: That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation, Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving, and Tricks and Treats: Sex Workers Write About Their Clients. Mat-tilda is an instigator of Gay Shame, a radical queer activist group that fights the monster of assimilation. BUTT Magazine calls Mattilda “one of the 100 most interesting people on Earth,” and the Austin Chronicle calls her “a cross between Tinkerbell and a honky Malcolm X with a queer agenda.” Mat-tilda’s new novel, So Many Ways to Sleep Badly, will destroy writing as we know it, but her sex life is terrible right now— if you want to meet in a park some time, contact Mattilda via www.mattbernsteinsycamore.com.
