![]() Books Read in 2022 (318) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. ![]() ![]() Full disclosure: both editors of this anthology are friends (and they gave me a galley copy). I can honestly say, though, that this book surprised me with how interesting, varied and intriguing it was. Probably a half dozen of the stories will stay with me — the anonymity may seem like a silly conceit in some ways, but it seems to have served to not only free up the author from any expectations but also to free the reader to take each story entirely on its own terms. Title: Anonymous Sex Author: Hillary Jordan Publisher: Scribner Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Four Review: "Anonymous Sex' by Hillary Jordan My Assessment: 'Anonymous Sex' was quite a read of twenty-seven erotic stories. Now, if this is your kind of read, then you have come to the right place because these authors give it all to you as they present their anonymous short and sweet stories. You may not enjoy all of these stories; however, there will be something just for you because many topics will be covered. So, be ready for 'some thrilling ones, long-married love, hardcore, sweet, gritty, steamy, and even some fanciful.' so you get a little bit of it all from this collection. I liked the idea of how these stories were put together because even though the author's name is listed, you do not know the particular author of the story that comes up. That, to me, makes the story even more intriguing. So, if you are into this type of reading...get ready for 'Anonymous Sex' will give it to you.
Editors Hillary Jordan and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan write in their introduction that they wanted to “create intrigue” by not revealing which of the high-profile contributors have written which story: “Readers would have to guess.”
"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.
