Synopsis

Schor's writing proves that experimental doesn't necessarily mean inaccessible. The stories in Seduction are written with intelligence, humor, and an exhilarating sense of absurdity. Schor explores the mind, she explores our culture, and she explores our dark desires. And she does not limit that exploration in either content or form. Pat MacEnulty, author of Sweet Fire, and, From May to September

About this title

About the Author:

Lynda Schor enjoys disturbing people with her writing. She loves to tackle subjects that no one else wants to look at. When she gives a reading she embarrasses everyone including herself. She writes about sex a lot, which in her hands becomes either disgusting or rote. She's been labeled a pornographer perhaps because her descriptions of sexuality of depictions of sex are detailed, yet entirely anti-romantic. Her writing can turn you on and make you laugh at the same time, or disgust you and turn you on at the same time as she satirizes everything, including satire. If you search Schor's name on the internet you'll come across a critical article by a neo-Nazi, calling her, along with Gloria Steinem and other well-known feminists, a "Jewish feminist guru." This made her nervous for a minute and brought home something she'd known--that you can't control public opinion.
