Sexual Pensees

Bruce Jay Friedman has been described as a “comic genius†(P. J. O’Rourke) “an American original†(Kirkus) and as having “a voice that is equidistant from those of Wilde, Salinger, and Woody Allen†(Publishers Weekly). In Sexual Pensées, he casts a baleful and knowing eye on the “sexual danceâ€: the way men and women think and feel about sex, how they behave – nobly and disreputably – in and out of bed. The book reveals the deepest feelings of a young woman in Manhattan, a young man, a Hollywood starlet, a film producer – and icons ranging from Flaubert to Mario Puzo. A blend of poetry, haiku, and erotic memoir, it is a book about sex unlike any other, and will appeal to men and women who look upon sex not just as a solemn enterprise, but also as sheer and often outrageous fun.
