Pillow Talk
Lesbian Stories Between the Covers
Lesléa Newman
Erotica may be the most demanding genre: if it doesn’t arouse us, it isn’t worth reading, yet we expect to feel more than simple arousal. Discriminating readers will find the stories in Pillow Talk unexpectedly fresh and well written, portraying sex in all its emotional complexity, as well as every position known to the Western world. In the surprisingly tender opening story, Roberta Almerez’s ‘A Friend of a Friend of Dorothy’s,’ an older woman hires a prostitute to initiate her into lesbian lovemaking. Louise Blum’s ‘Good Girls’ offers a view from the closet in a rural community. In Cat McDonald’s ‘Kolu, Revisited,’ childhood friends meet by accident and fall in love. Rhonda, the protagonist of Susan Kan’s ‘Petal Sweat,’ doesn’t get her girl at all, but uncovers something far more precious: her own long-dormant sensuality. Lesléa Newman, the author of Heather Has Two Mommies, proves an astute and generous editor, maintaining a fine balance between art and smut–plenty of each, in brimming portions. –Regina Marler
