Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lust brings out the liar in everyone. Every erection has Pinocchio written up and down its length—yes, everybody wants to be REAL, a real boy, an honest woman, unafraid and upright—but then desire, the ultimate honesty, does us in. Desire doesn't give a whit about shame. Our secrets, our exaggerations and distractions, it's all just a lot of twisting in the wind as far as sex is concerned—what we want WILL come out. "Is our sexuality a basic, good, and precious thing that somehow became terribly misunderstood? Or is there something really evil out there in Sex Land that attaches itself to our libidos and is only held back by vigilance and caution?" asks Susie Bright in her bestselling book The Sexual State of the Union. Bright pushes the borders of propriety until they blur and become irrelevant in the face of our inherent need to touch and be touched. With candor and passion, Susie Bright proves that sexual knowledge can indeed be salvation and inspiration. Review:The New York Times Book ReviewMs. Bright is the voice of sweet reason and literacy. Review:Armistead MaupinSusie Bright is a true American original. She cuts through the crap of modern Calvinism with disarming candor and humor and yes, elegance. We're so lucky to have her. Review:Erica JongSusie Bright is the genuine article...She proves the point that the muse screws, that all creativity is inevitably sexual, and that the juciest people write the most delectable books. Synopsis:In this hip, funny, and bestselling distillation of a lifetime of research, the country's leading maverick sexpert offers her daring, delightful, and bound-to-be-controversial perspective on sexuality, hang-ups, feminism, family values, and the general state of sex in American culture today. Synopsis:Hailed by the Millennium Whole Earth Catalog as a national treasure right up there with the Grand Canyon, the battlefield at Gettysburg...and the Smithsonian's Nancy Reagan Memorial Dress Collection, Susie Bright once again culls the best erotic writing from magazines, journals, and short story collections published during the last year. The result is an anthology of high literary quality that covers the totality of human sexuality. Among the thirty-one pieces that will amuse, shock, and captivate are: Shay Youngblood's Triple X, Serena Moloch's The Casting Couch, Debra Boxer's Innocence in Extremis, and an excerpt from Bret Easton Ellis's Glamorama.
