Description
SEX AND SENSIBILITY brings together the voices of some of America's most
cutting-edge contemporary writers as they capture the joys, travails,
and sheer exhilaration of life outside of marriage and motherhood in
what Genevieve Field calls 'a funny, sexy manual on the art and
occasional artlessness of living single'.
In wide-ranging pieces
entitled 'Cut and Shave', 'Medusa's Sister' and 'One Way to Stay Warm in
Winter', contributors from Lisa Carver to Julianna Baggott and Thisbe
Nissen write about a woman whose 'long dry spell' is about to end - with
mortifying and uproarious results; a university undergraduate
discovering sex for the first time; and what happens when two best
friends take in a (seductive) male roommate. Lisa Gabriele chronicles
the dead-end relationships that lead back to her solitary single state.
Celebrity interviewer Precious Williams gets a lot more than 'Two
Dollars a Word' when she takes a famous rapper up on his sexy
invitation. From Pam Houston to Jennifer Weiner, Elissa Schappell to
Eliza Minot, featuring topics as diverse as long-distance dating,
twenty-something divorce, and online crushes, SEX AND SENSIBILITY is
filled with humour and heartache, vivid imagery, and no-holds-barred
language. An unabashedly erotic, frank, and explicit anthology that
celebrates singlehood and sisterhood, this is the quintessential
handbook for today's independent women.
