Book description
Ever since the collapse of the Tower of Babel, sex has been the
common language uniting men and women throughout the world. Erotic
prose is not just an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon but a universal one -- as
this revised new edition of the influential "Mammoth" volume
gloriously demonstrates, with a miscellany of exciting stories from
over 16 different countries and languages Editor Maxim Jakubowski has
cherry-picked the finest new writing from countries, such as France
and Italy, both so fertile right now that they could fill their own
volumes. The anthology features stories by Nobel Prize winner Elfriede
Jelinek, Orange Prize-shortlisted Stella Duffy, plus ten previously
uncollected tales including: 'Jou Pu Tuan' by Li Yu, 'The Sex Lives of
Chameleons' by C. D. Formetta, 'Three for the Money' by Marilyn
Jaye-Lewis, 'Memories that Linger On' By Carlos Benito Camacho,
'Opera' by Sonia Rykiel, 'The New Fiancee' by N. T. Morley, and
'Tarot' by Florence Dugas.
