Full Frontal Fiction : The Best of Nerve.com

Rating:
Summary: Full Frontal Fantastic!
Review: I decided to buy this book because I have been a fan of nerve.com for quite awhile now. I think it is amazing how these people can make sex so literary! I can honestly say that when I began reading this book, I fell in love with it! These stories were so poignant and creative. So much of this novel is sexual, but the writing completely takes over and makes me think. My favorite story is "The Wedding of Tom and Tom" by Keith Banner. Yes, it is about two retarded men who cannot get enough of each other sexually, but they also love each other, and they end up teaching other people about love as well. I think all the stories are fantastic, and I am so thrilled that I bought this. Congrats nerve.com for bringing sex into the literary millennium!

Summary: Great Book
Review: It's about time our favorite pastime be pulled from the recesses of morality and be recast in an intelligent and palatable light. Mr. Murninghan and Ms. Field have truly done justice to this end. In particular, I was completely floored by Darcy Cosper's "A Story Problem," in which she dissolves the story to its most basic components and functions, replaces the characters with letters as if to solve for an algebraic equation, and then, in the most playful and equivocal way, both asks the reader to solve for the variables while solving them for us. This example was in particular; there were many others in this anthology that were brilliant.
