7 days of books: Day 6 - Erotica

Bob Toovey : 14 January 2006

On to Erotica for day 6 of our series. We are not talking pornography for our first book here but well crafted stories. While the photos of our second book may not be classed as erotica (erotic art?), I include it here because it is such a good book and comes pretty close to the subject at hand.

Zaftig: Well Rounded Erotica
by Hanne Blank (Editor)

Hanne is one multi talented women, a writer, editor, public speaker, and educator. Not just in print but online as well, anthologies and collections. Is her book you get twenty one short stories by and for overweight women and their admirers, by one of the most prominent spokespersons on the topic of size and sexuality. This collection of erotica that never fails to surprise and which successfully turns a popular sexual stereotype completely on its head. Unique and literate.

Women En Large: Images of Fat Nudes
Laurie Toby Edison, Debbie Notkin

I was going to say something about this book but once I took a look the photographs I can’t say anything more than this quote from the authors website.

"Women En Large is an incredible collection of photographs that portray beautiful, strong, courageous, powerful, elegant, handsome mid- to super-size women. ... The focus on the beauty and power of fat women provides an unforgettable and radical contrast to the ugly images of fat women which pervade our lives. As if that weren't enough, the text discusses fat oppression and fat celebration, health and body size, fat and sexuality, activity and ability, fat and ethnicity and more. This is our book if ever there was one."

Take a look at the sample photos and you will see what I mean.
