Synopsis

27 Authors. 27 Stories. No Names Attached.

A bold collection of stories about sex that leaves you guessing who wrote what.

Bestselling novelists Hillary Jordan and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan present an elegant, international anthology of erotica that explores the diverse spectrum of desire, written by winners of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, PEN Awards, the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Edgar Award, and more. There are stories of sexual obsession and sexual love, of domination and submission. There’s revenge sex, unrequited sex, funny sex, tortured sex, fairy tale sex, and even sex in the afterlife.

While the authors are listed in alphabetical order at the beginning of the book, none of the stories are attributed, providing readers with a glimpse into an uninhibited landscape of sexuality as explored by twenty-seven of today’s finest authors.

Featuring Robert Olen Butler, Catherine Chung, Trent Dalton, Heidi W. Durrow, Tony Eprile, Louise Erdrich, Jamie Ford, Julia Glass, Peter Godwin, Hillary Jordan, Rebecca Makkai, Valerie Martin, Dina Nayeri, Chigozie Obioma, Téa Obreht, Helen Oyeyemi, Mary-Louise Parker, Victoria Redel, Jason Reynolds, S.J. Rozan, Meredith Talusan, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, Souvankham Thammavongsa, Jeet Thayil, Paul Theroux, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Edmund White.

When award winning authors come together to write highly sophisticated "trashy" stories, botch of a book like this emerges from the wreckage. : ")......more

In brief - If this is your sort of thing and you have an open mind some of these stories are very good. In full I really did like the concept of this book of short stories.

It's been a hot minute since I've read any erotica. But give me 27 authors with 27 erotic stories and you have no idea who wrote what? Well, don't you threaten me with a good time!! Alas, meep.

A book filled with different stories all about sex? It sounded like my kind of book, I like spicey content, I like romantic content, I like dark romance content, I dunno, I felt like this one fell just the tiniest bit flat with me. I was looking forward to it but a lot of the stories didn’t resonate......more

I don't remember being so disappointed by any short story collection as this one. In all anthologies, there is at least one great story and a couple of good ones. But......more
