The Best American Erotica 1996

When I read Susie Bright's series, I am always surprised and aroused. This edition was pretty good too, but it lacked the sheer heat of the 1994 edition. The 1996 edition seemed to be going for a more intellectual orgasm, much like 1995 did. I give it four stars because of a few standout stories that do the intellectual thing as well as the sheer sexual thing: The Letters, The Hit (in fact, I am still looking for the novel it is excerpted from), Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot (hey, anything by Bob Butler is good, geez). The other stories were worthy. Ms. Bright strikes again.
