Susanna, An Erotic Adventure: Triptych 1

by Krissy Kneen

'Not many self-confessed perverts can write as well as Krissy Kneen.' Rave

First in the Triptych a trio of erotic novellas from the acclaimed author of Affection.

Pursuing sexual adventure online, Susanna finds a soul mate among the anonymous onanists. But is it possible the mystery man lives in her own building?

Transgressive, sardonic, lyrical, comic; irresistibly erotic yet also romantic, Krissy Kneen's writing has been acclaimed for its fearless honesty. In the Triptych series of linked stories, she addresses taboos of all kinds with warmth, subtle wit and a delightful insistence on pleasure.

Krissy Kneen is a bookseller and writer. She is the author of a short collection of erotica, Swallow the Sound, and a memoir, Affection. She lives in Brisbane with her husband and no pets.

reviews of Triptych:

'If you plan to read only one book in which a woman has sex with a dog, pony and octopus, make it Triptych. Kneen's interconnected erotic stories happily transgress every sexual taboo, but Triptych doesn't just intend to shock. It's also unexpectedly tender, funny, disturbingly relatable and very, very readable.' Benjamin Law

'this is an astounding look at different sorts of love, and Kneen is above all, a sensualist.' Adelaide Advertiser

There are many different styles/genres of music....Rock, Blues, Classical, Country, Rap....and most of us have our favorite style of music that we prefer to listen to. However, even though it's our favorite, we have to explore other styles to decide if we are going to like listening to something different. I think most people like all kinds of music and you often decide if you like what you are hearing as soon as the needle hits the vinyl. Or if it's radio, you hear a song and if that doesn't fill your ears with a pleasant sound, you hit the button and change it to find your "preferred style" of music.
That said, the same is true of literature....different genres are available and we all will generally seek out the one(s) that are our preferred genre. Once again, I think most people like to explore further to find "something different". For many people, this book would be THAT book. It is a book of erotica and I don't know how many people like it and how many "steer clear" of it. My take on that is "try it and see if you like it".
This story is quite an erotic story, the first of 3 by Krissy Kneen....and I must say, she is quite adept writing erotica! As I said, if you enjoy erotica or have been looking for a book in this genre, this will be one you will enjoy, I think. I will say that if you use "Skype", you may want to always be sure your camera is off before you get in front of your computer screen....especially if you like to be totally comfortable at home and do your computer work in the buff. Always know that when you are searching anything, no one is going to see you unless you want them to see you!
So, enjoy this very short novella (all three books in this trilogy are very short novellas), but know that it's not for the "faint of heart"!

2. 5 stars. Started well but kinda fell apart as it went along, and also included a few eye-wateringly bad pieces of erotic prose worthy of Rocky Flinstone

Libby suggested this to me. They knew I loved a girl who's a little bit unhinged.
