literary sexuality
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is one of the finest collections of literary sexuality I have had the pleasure to read. Far from mere titillation, the stories are intriguing, thought-provoking and fascinating. Oh, and from time to time, the stories are really hot. Enjoy.
A must have erotic anthology! for vassi!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I was shocked to read the other lukewarm reviews of this book. I bought this book about 10 years ago and found the stories compelling, entrancing (not to mention erotic). The book covers the darker side of eroticism--death, SM, but there's a lot of softer stuff. The real reason to buy the book is Marco Vassi's 80 page novella "Carcass of Dreams" (which I would argue is one of the best series of erotic stories ever written). The stories are more Bataille or Jean de Berg than Kundera, a lot of dark brooding nonsense. Another gem is Robert Silverberg's "Two at Once" one of the most delightful stories I'd read. Surprisingly, the Anne Rice story is one of the weakest of the bunch. Maxim Jakubowski also edited the excellent "Mammoth Book of International Erotica" (although I didn't find it as steamy as this original volume). For those who still prefer reading an intellectually-engaging dirty book once in a while and don't mind morbidity and S/M, this book will be great.
