Too Thin,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Getting It On: A Condom Reader (Paperback)
By the end of this collection of poems (12), short stories (9), and book excerpts (7) I felt like I'd been a participant in a good idea (anthology of fiction revolving around condoms), but wasn't fulfilled. I hadn't realized so much of the book was comprised of poetry or excerpts, and at times the relation of the condom to the theme of the story seemed almost non-existent. That said, there are some well done stories stories such as T.C. Boyle's "Modern Love," Ewing Campbell's "Conveniences," and Hester Kaplan's "On the Narrow Side." The excerpts aren't bad either, especially those from Michelle Chalfoun's Roustabout, John Irving's The World According to Garp, Martin Amis's The Rachel Papers, and Ann Rice's The Tale of the Body Thief, and Andrew McGahan's Praise. All in all, it's not as fun or saucy as you might expect.
