| Publisher Description: Voluptuous Pleasure is a collection of non-fiction whose title states that non-fiction does not exist. Sensuous and smart, ambiguous but incisive in their truths-these stories take you into brothels and bedrooms, kitchens and consciousness; they seduce you along the limits of non-fiction, making you question the veracity of anything you've ever read-or even experienced. Put your trust in the language itself: you can't trust reality, not anymore. If you've ever been confused about what creative non-fiction' is, look no further: this book defines the genre. Praise for Marianne Apostolides's previous work: The Lucky Child is: exquisitly written.... a vibrant, multilayerd, image-righ book. 1/2 The Globe & Mail subtle in its execution, clear in its vision, with a narration that is both incisive and heartfelt.... Its unanswered questions, both real and imagined, will haunt long after its final page is turned. 1/2 Tess Fragoulis Swim is: handled wish assured grace and dynamic lucidity. 1/2 The Globe & Mail a brilliantly-structured stram-of-consciousness nevel... Fans of lyric prose will savour this intelligent, finely-crafted text. 1/2 Canadian Literature |
