Product Description
From Amazon
These days there's plenty of S/M in anthologies of lesbian erotica. Everyone's thinking about it, apparently, even if not all of us are doing it. Who better than Pat Califia, an expert in the exchange of power, to select and introduce the latest edition of Best Lesbian Erotica, with its considerable emphasis on consensual power play? Califia's own story, "Blood and Silver," is the best-written in the book, a sharp-fanged, Angela Carteresque rewriting of "Little Red Riding Hood." Other high points include Rachel Kramer Bussel's "Monica and Me," in which a fan shares a night of sapphic bliss with Monica Lewinsky (who needs a cigar?), and Thea Hutcheson's "The Stars in Her Mouth," a tale of sexual rescue by an otherworldly woman. Although not the rawest or most innovative collection, the 2001 edition of Best Lesbian Erotica does win points for breadth of interest. There are bathroom scenes in vanilla and several more piquant flavors, a classic daddy/girl scenario, a Vampire tale, gender play aplenty, and a scattering of odes to passion of the heart, as well as of the loins. --Regina Marler
Book Description
Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 is as steamy as ever, featuring writers on a par with those in previous editions, such as Dorothy Allison, Heather Lewis, Joan Nestle, and Cecilia Tan.

A Stand-Out Collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 (Paperback)
Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 is my favorite in the series (thus far). The majority of the submissions are imaginative and sexy. Stories of note include "Business Casual" by Lauren Sanders, "If You Can Make It There..." by A.J. Stone, and "Water Music" by Elspeth Potter. The story, "Monica and Me" by Rachel Bussel, is a sexy seduction of a certain infamous Monica and another surprising gem in this collection.

50/50 "Best Of",
By "trk_73" (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 (Paperback)
I enjoy these books. I have them starting in '98. In all of the books, I feel I get my monies worth, BUT there always writings in each book that I do not enjoy. The eclectic collection has something for everyone, so you are sure to enjoy some of what you read IF not all. I recommend the collection for Lesbian Erotic fans. I hope you enjoy.

If you are a lesbian with gender issues...,
By "jocruzen" (California, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. Patrick Califa-Rice should have chosen a more specific title for this book, such as "lesbians who don't like to read about lesbians and want their girlfriends to be men". A majority of the short stories deal with gender issues, and gender play in sex which is too broadly described as being aimed toward lesbians.
