| | | A provocative new short-story collection from Pulitzer Prize winner Butler, "Intercourse" delightfully reveals what goes through a person''s mind at a crucial moment--during sex.
Annotation:
Following in the same conceptual vein as SEVERANCE (an account of the last thoughts of decapitated people throughout history and myth), Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler has written a collection of 50 short stories imagining the thoughts of famous lovers--Hitler, Adam and Eve, Einstein, Attila the Hun--during the act of intercourse. At turns witty, lyrical, and irreverent, INTERCOURSE is less erotic than intellectually stimulating.
| Praise| "It's cute....It's about the things you were thinking about when you should have been paying attention. Personally, I would think that at least one of these couples might be portrayed as actually communicating and enjoying themselves. But that's not the point he's making." - Jane Smiley 07/13/2008 |
