My Cursed Vagina

A heartfelt and incredibly funny memoir about love, life and fortune.

Thirteen years ago, a shopfront psychic told me my vagina was cursed. She was a scam artist, but she was also right. The stories in this book follow the different forms this curse has taken and how it followed me as I travelled the world looking for love. They are personal and very specific about sex, dating, marriage and motherhood.  And how sometimes the things that alter our paths lead us to the right place. 

What happens when a soothsayer tells Lally Katz her vagina is cursed? Has the truth been spoken?

In My Cursed Vagina Lally shares the many forms this hex takes as she searches for love, compulsively recording her life in real time as she goes. These are hilarious and heartbreaking tales of disastrous dates, hopeful sex, straight-talking friendships, a surprise marriage, the adventure of motherhood and the strange gifts of illness, by a woman who embraces everything life has to offer.

Lally Katz is an award-winning Australian/American playwright and screenwriter, celebrated for her fearless, funny and emotionally rich storytelling. Her plays—including Neighbourhood Watch, Atlantis, The Eisteddfod, and Stories I Want to Tell You in Person—have been produced by major theatre companies across Australia and internationally. She has also written extensively for television. Blending magical realism with raw autobiographical insight, Katz's work captures the strangeness, hope and vulnerability of being human. This is her first memoir.
