Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Update your passport and embark on this round-the-world journey of wicked adventures. Further bedside reading from the author of Erotic Fairy Tales, Szereto's anthology brings together 21 stories of varying quality set in places as remote as the Himalayas and as familiar (to readers) as Venice and London. In Gerard Wozek's "Journey of My Hands," a young American writer makes his way in Paris by offering male-to-male massages to a series of eccentric Frenchmen. In Ann Dulaney's erotic gem, "Mitsuko," an earnest young housewife must find a way to make some expensive cuts of fresh salmon more appealing to her husband's boss, who has joined them for dinner. When the well-meaning Mitsuko finally determines how best to serve them, she is happy to note that "Mr. Miyataki's lips and tongue were skillful, as any general manager's should be." A diverting collection, with something for even the most jaded palate. --Regina Marler

MITZI SZERETO's Web TV channel MITZI TV covers "all things quirky and London" and has attracted an international audience. Segments have ranged from prowling the streets of London in search of jellied eel and chatting about classic cars with Formula 1 racecar driver/BBC TV presenter Tiff Needell and couture shoe designer Jimmy Choo, to joining in a lively pub singalong, being recruited into dance by a troupe of Morris dancing software geeks, hanging out with a chapter of Harley Davidson riders, and covering a teddy bear festival with her famous bear and cohort, Teddy Tedaloo.

In addition to books and web TV, MITZI SZERETO is a pioneer of the erotic writing workshop in the UK and Europe, teaching them from the prestigious Cheltenham Festival of Literature to the Greek islands.

She's performed readings of her work from Los Angeles to London and Vienna, and has given talks on such subjects as erotic writing, women's publishing, and social media. Her work as an anthology editor has earned her the American Society of Authors and Writers' Meritorious Achievement Award. She also travels in academic circles, having lectured in creative writing at a number of British universities as well as presenting papers on erotic literature at conferences. Her anthology "Erotic Travel Tales 2" is the first anthology of erotica to feature a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Originally from the USA, she now resides in London, England.

1.0 out of 5 stars a bit dull, January 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Erotic Travel Tales (Paperback)
Thank heavens for one single elegant, authentic story in this book- Ann Dulaney's "Mitsuko." Otherwise, quite forced, fuzzy on facts ( Taos is not a hot desert town), and nothing truly erotic to it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A lot of ore for a few golden nuggets, June 23, 2002
This review is from: Erotic Travel Tales (Paperback)
Okay, I admit I don't know how anthologies work, and maybe some of the stories couldn't be more tightly edited for this book, because they had already been published, elsewhere. That's one possibility, but it only addresses one issue: the editing. Unfortunately, it was the nature of many of the stories themselves that I found off-putting, because of the heavy handed handling of the subject matter. Eros is a state of mind and as such it takes many forms, but an over reliance on descriptively graphic details of "orifice plugging" is not, in my opinion, erotic; that's about as sexually stimulating as pulling weeds.
"Mitsuko", however, is solid gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Marvelous!, February 10, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Erotic Travel Tales (Paperback)
A fine anthology debut from a fine writer! There is no shortage of masterful storytelling in Erotic Travel Tales, not to mention masterful writing. Absolute stunners in this collection include Mitsuko, Moonburn, Journey of My Hands, and Lilly's Loulou. And the writers sound every bit as interesting as their stories, judging by the bios in the back of the book. I only hope that Ms. Szereto decides to treat us again with another volume of Erotic Travel Tales? I've got my passport ready!
