Gillian Anderson will release new book ‘Want’ via Bloomsbury on 5th September 2024 it has been announced.
The culmination of the Dear Gillian project, which saw Anderson invite letters from all women, to reveal their sexual fantasies. At the time the project launch, she said:
“As women, we know that sex is about more than just sex. But so many of us don’t talk about it. Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key. Here is the key. I want to hear from you. This will be an anonymous, revelatory book compiling your letters to me to explore how women feel about sex. Because when we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain.
Is there a fantasy you’ve never told anyone about? Something you’d share with only the most trusted of confidants, if anyone at all? Wherever you come from, whomever you do or don’t sleep with, whether you’re eighteen or eighty: I want to hear from you. Write to me, starting your letter Dear Gillian.”
A collection of sexual fantasies from women around the world, Want is a revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women’s sexuality that asks, and answers:What do women think about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous?
The collection reveals that when women talk about sex, they talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet for many reasons – some complicated, some not – so many women don’t talk about it. Their deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of them, until someone comes along with the key.
In this book Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous letters of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous letter). ‘Want’ reveals what women think about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.
‘Want’, collated by Gillian Anderson, will be published by Bloomsbury in hardback, audio and ebook on 5th September 2024. You can pre-order it now.
