Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Susie Bright celebrates the first amendment, lesbianism, single motherhood and fantasizes an eventful night with Dan Quayle in this uninhibited and quirky collection of essays, articles and book reviews written over the past few years. Offbeat and sexy, Bright defends Madonna, attacks Dr. Ruth and is snubbed by Camille Paglia herself in this rather amazing and outspoken collection. Bright is gay and proud of it and considers herself a serious and first-rate pornographer. She gets into endless trouble with right-wingers and kicks and screams her way out of it thoughout these pages. Witty, fearless and thought-provoking.

4.0 out of 5 stars X-rated Intellectual, Indeed!, June 20, 2001

By	"kellyeleasure" (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews

Ah, the delectable Susie Bright. This book, though several years old, is fabulous. In it, Ms. Bright cunningly explores several themes and individuals with wit and intelligence. Her description of a discussion she had with adult film (and I do mean film) director Andrew Blake on her dislike of his lack of realism in his films' lesbian scenes is right on. Another great tale is her fantasy involving Dan Quayle. Yes, that's right, J. Danforth himself is lucky enough to have been the subject of one of Ms. Bright's sexual fantasies, or, at least, she will have us think so.

As is true of all of her books, Sexwise by Susie Bright is not to be missed.

ANNOTATION
Candid, campy, and sexy, Susie Bright's latest pop culture primer on sex raises more than an eyebrow as she looks at the state of sex in America. Along with essays, interviews, and reviews, Sexwise includes new writing that traces Bright's development as America's most daring (or darling?) sexpert.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Susie Bright is an American Treasure. Once again, her sharp wit and erotic imagination put a spin on modern culture unlike any other...
