21 Wives, Lovers, and Others Talk About Sex, Deception, Love, and Betrayal
Edited by Victoria Zackheim C 2007 Published by Warner Books
Zackheim rounded up essays from some of America's most talented female authors, and beyond the intimate candor of these mostly personal stories, what I love about this book is the luscious language that rolls off the tongues, swirls out of the pen, and makes it from brain to fingers on the keypad to be delivered to you!
Maybe YOU are the Other Woman?
Pam Houston: "Let's say that in San Francisco the painter had called the relationship with the Other Other (yes two others!) a light bulb relationship. You know, on again, off again."
Dani Shapiro: "I have been living the kind of unbelievable life people glide through in airport novels..."
Nancy Weber: "She knows she must send him home to his wife better than she received him like a borrowed car returned washed and waxed and brimming with high-test gas."
Maxine Rhea Leighton: "You are a schnorrer" my mother screeched repeatedly, using the Yiddish word for cheat or a parasite who takes from others as if it were his own."
