Voluptuous Pleasure

The Truth About the Writing Life

by Marianne Apostolides

tagged: short stories (single author), literary, women
Description

Voluptuous Pleasure is a collection of non-fiction whose title states that non-fiction does not exist. Sensuous and smart, ambiguous but incisive in their truths-these stories take you into brothels and bedrooms, kitchens and consciousness; they seduce you along the limits of non-fiction, making you question the veracity of anything you've ever read-or even experienced. Put your trust in the language itself: you can't trust reality, not anymore. If you've ever been confused about what "creative non-fiction' is, look no further: this book defines the genre.
