**27 Authors. 27 Stories. No Names Attached.** **A bold collection of stories about sex that leaves you guessing who wrote what.** Bestselling novelists Hillary Jordan and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan present an elegant, international anthology of erotica that explores the diverse spectrum of desire, written by winners of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, PEN Awards, the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Edgar Award, and more. There are stories of sexual obsession and sexual love, of domination and submission. There’s revenge sex, unrequited sex, funny sex, tortured sex, fairy tale sex, and even sex in the afterlife. While the authors are listed in alphabetical order at the beginning of the book, none of the stories are attributed, providing readers with a glimpse into an uninhibited landscape of sexuality as explored by twenty-seven of today’s finest authors. **Featuring Robert Olen Butler, Catherine Chung, Trent Dalton, Heidi W. Durrow, Tony Eprile, Louise Erdrich, Jamie Ford, Julia Glass, Peter Godwin, Hillary Jordan, Rebecca Makkai, Valerie Martin, Dina Nayeri, Chigozie Obioma, Téa Obreht, Helen Oyeyemi, Mary-Louise Parker, Victoria Redel, Jason Reynolds, S.J. Rozan, Meredith Talusan, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, Souvankham Thammavongsa, Jeet Thayil, Paul Theroux, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Edmund White.**

Since this is essentially a short story collection, I didn’t read it straight through, but rather dipped into it to read one or two stories at a time, over the course of about a week. And with any short story collection, the quality of the stories, and my enjoyment of them, varied a lot. The premise of this collection of erotic stories is very clever: 27 stories written by 27 writers, but you don’t know who wrote which story. My favorites were probably the adult retelling of the Rapunzel story and Find Me, a tale of an encounter on a long-distance train.
