On a Bed of Rice: An Asian American Erotic Feast is the first book to display the richness of erotic literature by Americans of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, East Indian, Pakistani, and Amerasian descent. With stories, essays, poems, and photographs, editor Geraldine Kudaka features a kaleidoscope of erotic viewpoints on such themes as sexual awakening, identity and exploration, marital betrayal, and interracial love. Written in styles ranging from the lyrical to the lascivious, from the provocative to the explicit, On a Bed of Rice is a feast for all lovers of fine literature—and the erotic.

Okinawan American Kudaka, herself an author and contributor to this work, assembles both well-known and emerging writers of Asian and Pacific ancestry to present a view of eroticism and love from the Asian American perspective. The more than 80 short stories and poems as well as one play in this anthology include prize winners by the likes of David Henry Hwang. Eight sections represent works ranging from innocently romantic to bawdy and explicit as they explore themes as divergent as first love and living and dying with AIDS both in the United States and around the world. While some of the pieces in this unique collection appear here for the first time, many are reprinted from other collections and magazines. Many of the contributors teach creative writing at American universities; there are biographical sketches of each. For general readers.
