Jan Priddy's Reviews > Spending

I read an ARC years ago but my impressions are still clear. This novel has the most erotic scenes I have ever read—primarily because what most people label eroticism usually ends up being something humiliating being done to a woman. Gordon has other ideas.

Further, authors often write about the creative process in arts other than literary . . . and get it wrong. Gordon describes a painter's process and nails it.

I loaned this book out and finally had to remove it from circulation among faculty at my school because I was afraid it would eventually be either stolen or spread around among students. Did I really want such a book tied back to me? I would have been embarrassed at the time.
