THANK YOU. My new book GET THE PICTURE has hit the New York Times bestseller list and the Indie Bestsellers List. I’m excited, thrilled, and so grateful to you all for making GET THE PICTURE a part of your lives.
Over the past few years, doctors and scientists have been quietly tiptoeing into the field of foreskin-restoration surgery, drawn by growing demand, the proliferation of gender-affirmation care (which has helped surgeons hone their skill in reshaping genitals), and circumcision itself falling out of favor. In the United States, circumcision reached its zenith in the mid-1960s, when an estimated 80 percent of males had their foreskins cut off. In 2022 — the most recent year for which data is available — only 49 percent of male infants were circumcised.
That some physicians are now helping to reverse a procedure their peers long touted as a boon for patients’ health is raising fresh tensions over the merits of circumcision and emboldening men to challenge whether the procedure’s toll is greater than doctors have typically recognized. Though the majority of people still opt to take matters into their own hands, procedures like Floyd’s — and the growing body of research into the mechanics and merits of uncircumcision — suggest professional help is finally arriving.
In a new feature for The Cut, @bbosker introduces us to foreskin-restoration surgery, the men seeking it out, and the other methods of circumcision reversal they’ve tried: https://t.co/wpFik3lGrr
Americans still find animal cloning creepy, but it’s happening every day. @bbosker reports on the big business that has sprung up to produce faster horses, superior cattle, and immortal pets: https://t.co/FPHyD5IRHr
Please join us at @NYPLSNFL 9/18 & ask Julie and Rob all your burning questions about art, looking, and what they really think of my book 😅. Also as Julie noted, we’re like a bundle of baby beagles and what’s more fun than that? Details: https://t.co/vrvTKJRcBG
“Bosker has written a riotous, clever, immersive story of art in which sensuality is centred, and ultimately triumphs over the industry around it; she succeeds brilliantly.” Thank you for this incredible and incredibly thoughtful review!
In a fantastic review, @TheTLS calls GET THE PICTURE by @bbosker "exceptionally accomplished... a vivid spin through a kaleidoscope of confounding, maddening, surprising and sometimes enrapturing artworks." https://t.co/CjdbVJDvJm

So excited (and SO curious) to speak with artist Clinton King and gallerist Elizabeth Denny about GET THE PICTURE ✨ tonight ✨ on Instagram Live. (See below!) As two of the people featured in the book, I can’t wait for their thoughts…
😂 😂😂 the unctuosity of the edible confection engaging in a clash with the earthbound elements questions, problematizes, and challenges the boundaries of traditionally-defined artistic mediums while underscoring the liminal dichotomies inherent in everyday space.
Read the brilliant “Get the Picture” by @bbosker and decided to take quick writing break and focus intensely on installation art. “Essence Unbounded.” I’m waiting for the Met to call.
