Product Description
Product Description
Experimental Erotica From Some Of The Best-Known Names In Modern Literature; Shunning the notion that erotic literature is hastily created thrown-away words and sentences, a new literary, experimental aesthetic pervades this anthology. The writers here show that human sexuality is broad, and the range of desire is exciting and vast. Sex is as vital as food, politics, and conflict. The Avant Pornographers are not afraid to explore and exploit the nature of postmodern human sexuality in the 21st Century, with their own brand of twists and curves. Like Mirrorshades was to cyberpunk and Avant Pop was to avant pop, What The Fuck will be a new brand of post-pomo sexualised fiction. Contributors include William T Vollmann, one of the most important writers of the 1990s; leading sci-fi writer Don Webb, pomo novelist Robert Coover, anthologist Larry McCaffrey of the Avant Pop anthology from Viking Penguin, underground sensation Thom Metzger as well as L A Ruocco, author of the challenging and labyrinthian Document Zippo.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Off-beat and eclectic,
By Ann M Eadie (Jacksonville, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What the Fuck: The Avant-Porn Anthology (Paperback)
I can't say I liked all of the stories in this book, but most were fun and some were rather odd-ball. The cover is funny. A good read for the beach or the airport.

A Weird and Wild Book,
By "avantpop" (nowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What the Fuck: The Avant-Porn Anthology (Paperback)
I love the cover. I love the preface, wherein Larry McCaffery says he found Hemmingson, the editor, after an alien abduction, and this whole book is written by kinky alien life forms. There's a lot of weird and quirky stories in here. This is probably one of the best "erotica" anthologies I've come across in along time, as all the stories take a fresh look at the form.Highly recommended.

Good mix of anthologies for the genre,
By Sebastian Dangerfield "Onion soup Ollie" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What the Fuck: The Avant-Porn Anthology (Paperback)
The book is a good blend of short stories on this literary segment branded as porn or erotica. The authors chosen for the book show they are interested in writing on the subjects. Although the subject matter of the stories was not always to my liking or tastes, it is a worthwhile book in my opinion.
