Edición de la obra In the box called pleasure

"These gutsy and postfeminist stories will elicit the shock of recognition from women and may reveal to men something about the further regions of the female psyche."--BOOK JACKET. "By turns graphic, funny, and moving, the urban tales present characters who are teetering on the edge. Indifferent or absent lovers, drinking and smoking too much, loneliness, paranoia, a desire that is always fresh in spite of the facts, rage, and obsession - this is the macabre landscape of these very unusual and unrestrained stories."--BOOK JACKET. "In "Reading Sontag," Addonizio invades and recasts Susan Sontag's essay "The Pornographic Imagination" while describing a monumentally failed relationship. In "The Gift," a woman finds a dildo on the street and is magically transformed into a man."--BOOK JACKET.
