DAHLIA SCHWEITZER is a writer, curator, educator, and performer. Her books, articles, concerts, and installations--found across mass/mainstream, critical/academic, and emergent/underground channels--touch upon themes of media and identity; sexuality and femininity; decay and reinvention. Sometimes her intention is to critique and suggest, others to transform and advance, and yet others to arouse and entertain.

Schweitzer's other works include erotic fiction (Seduce Me, Queen of Hearts, Breathe With Me, I've Been a Naughty Girl); cultural criticism (Some Kind of Monster: Cindy Sherman's Office Killer); impassioned essays in publications including Hyperallergic and The Journal of Popular Culture; and an album of electronic dance music (Plastique). A former resident of Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York City, Schweitzer currently lives in Los Angeles. Here, in the city of angels (and devils), she teaches critical thinking and creative writing while working toward her PhD at UCLA.
