About the Book

¿Qué es lo que quieren las mujeres? Mujeres de verdad escriben sobre sexo de verdad. Cuando se trata de sexo, ¿qué es lo que quieren las mujeres? En esta colección reveladora y valiente, Erica Jong muestra que cada mujer tiene su propia respuesta. Susan Cheever habla de los peligros espantosos del sexo casual en ""Sexo con un desconocido"", mientras que Gail Collins relata su educación católica en Cincinnati y la monja que apasionadamente le prohibió tener relaciones carnales. En ""Todo fuera: Una historia corta"", Jennifer Weiner explora cómo, en el amor, el cuerpo puede jugar un papel tan grande como el corazón. En la aguda pieza de Karen Abbott, unos octogenarios poseen una pasión que nada tiene que envidiar a las inolvidables protagonistas de ""Las chicas de oro"". Molly Jong-Fast reflexiona sobre su educación no convencional y por qué toda una generación de mujeres jóvenes han rechazado el amor libre a favor del cochecito de bebé y el mamá y yo hacemos yoga. El sexo, en definitiva, puede ser tan fugaz, pesado, mundano, e intenso que el resto de la vida. De hecho, Jong afirma en su introducción "" La verdad es que el sexo es vida, ni más ni menos.

Critical Praise

“[A] fierce, fearless collection.” — More Magazine

“The women of this collection make the case that good sex is never exclusively about the act, but also about how you approach it.” — NPR

“Reading Sugar in My Bowl offers a rare opportunity to peer in on a breadth of intimate sexual experiences, a wide variety of motivations, and problems and desires you never knew existed-as well as the little thrill of stumbling upon a story that sounds like your own.” — Slate Double XX

“Abundant with affairs, marriages, motherhood and our sexual sense of mortality it is a thoughtful read, a perfect aperitif on a summer evening. The stories penetrate a secret space in our brains we so often neglect: our sense of sexuality.” — Forbes

“Jong has crafted candid accounts of love and passion from renowned female writers into a sensual and sensitive read.” — Interview

“[Sugar in My Bowl] runs the gamut from pornographic and hilarious to ironic and poignant. The result is a fun, quick, beach read, requiring as much or as little intellectual energy as the reader chooses to invest.” — Chicago Sun-Times

“You can take these women seriously, laugh, squirm, and put hand over mouth at their weird, exciting, uncomfortable, joyous tales of ardor, while still admiring the agility of their prose.” — The Daily

“Jong partners with 28 collaborators to create this fierce and refreshingly frank collection of personal essays, short fiction and cartoons celebrating female desire…A smart, scrumptiously sexy romp of a read.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“In this no-holds-barred collection of essays by ‘real women’ about ‘real sex,’ Jong has assembled an eclectic group of authors. [Sugar in My Bowl] is at its most profound when truth illuminates sex as a force in which these women found empowerment.” — Publishers Weekly

“Jong cast a broad net to bring together women writing about sex. The resulting anthology attests the wide range of female sexual experience.” — Booklist

“Sugar in My Bowl is proof positive that women can write seriously about sex and live to tell. It represents a remarkable smorgasbord of experience and perspective, and there’s a dish here for everyone.” — Shelf Awareness

“’The Vagina Monologue’‘s Eve Ensler, New York Times columnist Gail Collins, and Jong’s own daughter, Molly Jong-Fast, all opened up about bumpin’ uglies for this scintillating book we couldn’t put down. Sugar In My Bowl may not be better than the big O, but it sure comes close.” — The Frisky

“These pieces honestly and thoughtfully explore sex and its role in our society from a woman’s perspective, from its place in youth to the golden years....with Sugar in My Bowl Jong has curated a consistently eye-opening and thoroughly readable volume.” — LargeHearted Boy Blog

“The enticing, thoughtful Sugar in My Bowl proves to be a powerful exploration of women’s relationship to sex.” — Entertainment Realm

“This book is a Thanksgiving dinner in which each story is a dish more scrumptious, more touchingly homemade than the last. All are so very different, but together they comprise a joyous feast: [an] examination-cum-celebration of female sex and sexuality. A must-read.” — Gender Across Borders

“The passion, tragedy, and hope—offered by courageous women who express raw feelings that society tends to silence—will resonate.” — Library Journal
