The fourth gender


Whilst Felix Karlosoroff  (moody but creative silk-screen-printer) and Frab Lotus – (Reikarial Therapist and part-owner of Zangwill’s Bazaar of Curiosities) are  pragmatic about their sexuality, their friend, Milton Ridley is an avid proponent of Queer Political Theory.  He is currently writing a dissertation on Gender and Grammatical Syntax. Whilst drawing up a concordance of the gender of various nouns in different  Indo-European languages, he discovered a secret papal document from the 15th century that advocates a fourth grammatical gender, namely the ‘seraphic’ gender for nouns such as ‘calculus’, ‘granite’ and ‘non-Island whisky’.
Tonight Ridley is giving a public talk about 'Seraphic options in the twenty-first century' to the  Literary Circle at the Never a True Word Pub in Seven Dials.
