DIRTY WORDS: A LITERARY ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SEX - Scarce Pristine Copy of The First Edition/First Printing
Published by New York City, NY: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2008
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 295 pages. Published in 2008. Anthology of short stories, commentaries, and essays on subject. One of the most fascinating, enjoyable, and literary books on sex ever published. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. Presents "Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex". As interpreted by some of the world's most exciting writers. "A playful take on bedroom talk, a smart, funny encyclopedia with entries written by notable contemporary writers. This witty reference steps in where time-honored discussions of the birds and the bees typically fall short. All of the 100-some entries are formally defined and further explained through reflective and ribald definitions, essays, and stories by some of today's most exciting writers. Everything from celibacy to promiscuity, hand jobs to sex toys is tackled by everyone's favorite writers, including Steve Almond, Patricia Marx, Phillip Lopate, and Antonya Nelson. From sexual relationships (monogamy, one-night stand, menage a trois) to sexual positions (doggie style, 69), from age-old practices (prostitution) to contemporary twists (cybersex), this alphabetical encyclopedia includes everything you need to know about the language of love and more" (Publisher's blurb). Well, sex is not love; love is not sex. But they are closely intertwined. An absolute "must-have" title for contemporary literature and sex collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Some of the finest writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN B005B1IJGA. no.
