5.0 out of 5 stars
A touching, timeless anthology
Ms. Robotham's collection of short stories was truly magnificent. I can see why she had a hard time "choosing". Her short story selections celebrate the unique and multi-faceted lives, loves and sexuality of various characters. This is a marvelous anthology for those who want to delve into the loves of the Black woman. The short stories selected touch on...

Perfect beach Reading Material!
While I wouldn't exactly compare this collection of stories to THE BEST AMERICAN EROTICA or DESIRES, BLUE LIGHT does contain some very good sensual writing that encompass the diversity of Black sensuality without heavy-handed vulgarity. I found many of the passages here to be more heartwarming than flesh sizzling. A person that is curious about sensual fiction but...

Ms. Robotham's collection of short stories was truly magnificent. I can see why she had a hard time "choosing". Her short story selections celebrate the unique and multi-faceted lives, loves and sexuality of various characters. This is a marvelous anthology for those who want to delve into the loves of the Black woman. The short stories selected touch on the many stages that I'm sure most EVERY woman has encountered in her life one time or another. A great book that will hold your attention!

This review is from: The Bluelight Corner: Black Women Writing on Passion, Sex, and Romantic Love (Paperback)
While I wouldn't exactly compare this collection of stories to THE BEST AMERICAN EROTICA or DESIRES, BLUE LIGHT does contain some very good sensual writing that encompass the diversity of Black sensuality without heavy-handed vulgarity.I found many of the passages here to be more heartwarming than flesh sizzling. A person that is curious about sensual fiction but uncomfortable with the idea of reading "dirty stories" will really appreciate this volume. Robotham did an excellent job selecting stories about young and mature love, passion, and obsession. I found the book to be funny, sexy, and enlightening and look forward to more volumes to come. Many of the stories are reprints from novels or other previously published works but, far from detracting from it's value, it may introduce the reader to some fabulous female authors. Alice Walker and Edwige Danticat are standouts. Enjoy! |
