false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176776636m/653305.jpg 653305 2 <I>Neurotica: Jewish Writers on Sex</I> is a first-rate collection of writings about "the people of the book, in bed," as editor Melvin Jules Bukiet observes in the book's terrifically funny introduction. ("Not only is sex unshunned by the Jewish tradition; it's often considered a positive mitzvah to have sex on Sabbath. Besides, if work is prohibited and you can't go to the movies, how else can you spend your holy time?") <I>Neurotica</I> includes short stories and excerpts from novels by big names such as Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Jerzy Kosinski, and Woody Allen, and by promising newcomers such as Nathan Englander and Michael Lowenthal. Some familiar selections (such as an excerpt from Erica Jong's once-scandalous <I>Fear of Flying</I>) now appear remarkably tame. But the sexual proclivities depicted in many of these selections are quite intense and sometimes disturbing--not fit for summary on a family Web site. So keep this one away from the kids, but curl up with it under the covers. It will give you veddy interesting dreams. <I>--Michael Joseph Gross</I> 639414 5 9 2000 Neurotica: Jewish Writers on Sex total:17|5:2|4:5|3:7|2:2|1:1| 17 56 20 0 1 0 false false Tue Oct 20 17:27:26 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 17:27:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 14:06:25 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 14:06:25 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 12 01:37:55 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 01:37:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 22 13:53:06 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 13:53:06 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 16:05:53 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 16:05:53 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Mon Aug 25 08:54:54 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 08:54:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 18 12:09:49 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 18 12:09:49 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun May 18 19:35:56 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 19:35:56 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Fri Mar 21 13:48:29 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 13:48:29 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Mar 21 09:54:04 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 09:54:10 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Feb 20 06:09:49 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 06:09:49 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 16:38:16 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 16:38:16 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jan 27 08:15:18 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 08:15:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 10 22:11:42 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 10 22:12:56 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Mon Sep 24 16:17:32 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 16:17:32 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Sep 10 13:21:38 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 13:35:22 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Aug 17 21:10:43 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 21:10:43 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Jul 06 11:39:01 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 06 11:39:02 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Jul 04 14:46:28 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 14:46:39 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu May 03 23:11:36 -0700 2007 Thu May 03 23:11:36 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=653305
