Fiction
Safe Sex is a cynical comedy of manners about three San Francisco women
seeking what passes for love in this over-amped world.
Jane is a would-be poet with the world’s most boring writing job, doing
communications for a company that makes drill press screws. She’s been
getting her creative licks in by working on Nisus, a literary zine.
Nancy runs Outtakes, an underground art gallery, where it’s a constant
struggle to get patrons and granting organizations to understand why artists
who cover themselves with mud and honey are worthy of support.
Monica is a successful interior designer, sharp, aggressive and a little too
proud of it. In her determination to get what she wants, she tends to tromp on
her friends’ hearts and egos.
What they all want is Nate, who comes off like a dream date. A digital artist
with the obligatory tattoos and motorcycle, and a habit of telling women what
they want to hear, he has his own demons that keep him from letting anyone
get close.
When Nancy hatches a scheme to curate a show at a prestigious New York
gallery, she talks Nate and Jane into impersonating brother and sister folk
artists. As the two of them make trash into sculpture at the San Francisco
dump, they develop a tenuous friendship and respect.
Jane still must fight for what she wants — Nate and a creative life. To win
them, she has to battle Monica’s wiles, her own insecurity, and Nate’s fears.
