ReviewsPraise for KINK: STORIES edited by R.O. KWON & GARTH GREENWELL "This provocative collection will leave you tied to your chair...[A] groundbreaking collection of short stories that explore desire, love, BDSM, and consent...Co-edited by acclaimed novelists R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell, Kink... features stories by Roxane Gay, Alexander Chee, Carmen Maria Machado, and others--that explore desire, love, BDSM, and consent. The book seeks not only to lay bare non-normative physical intimacy, but to change the cultural conversations surrounding it. Yes, there are ropes and riding crops, but the beauty lies in capturing the emotionality as well as the eroticism." -- O MAGAZINE "...Dive into this collection of short stories written by several renowned fiction authors. Set in places like therapists' offices, private estates, and a sex theater in early 20th century Paris, the stories explore various points across the sexual spectrum from love and desire to BDSM." -- COSMOPOLITAN "Fifteen tantalizing stories of pleasure, pain, and power...The characters in these stories illuminate the ways gender, politics, and cultural norms inform power dynamics--inside and outside the bedroom. The collection's strength lies not just in the diversity of the writers, but also in the experiences they're exploring. Kink, desire, and sexuality all exist on a spectrum, and so do these stories...Thrilling, provocative, and unapologetically kinky." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS "Greenwell and Kwon deliver on their promise to 'take kink seriously' in this enticing, wide-ranging collection that plumbs the depths of desire and control...This visionary anthology successfully explores the range of sexual potency in the characters' power plays." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "...[S]tories about love and lust from a powerhouse lineup...Edited by two writers whose work takes sex seriously, Kink makes a case for sex's place in literary fiction." -- LITHUB "Intimate and wide ranging in every sense, the script-flipping, heart-skipping stories gathered here speak to and across one another, conveying truths of desire, experience, and selfhood as only literature can." -- BOOKLIST "Bless Kink for opening up the spaces between all binaries, for daring to hold open desire between bodies on the brink of ecstasy. Between pleasure and pain, between hunger and thirst, between power and surrender, these stories will remind you how desire let loose can write us back to life. A pure erotic fury. An unapologetic delight brought to the cusp of trembling." --LIDIA YUKNAVITCH, bestselling author of Verge and The Book of Joan "The stories in this book are a chorus of kink, singing different songs of sex and danger and want; they coax us into rooms that were previously closed, and what gorgeous rooms they are." -- ESM É WEIJUN WANG, New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias "Behind all the artifice and pageantry of what we deem as 'kink,' there are untold stories, uncharted maps, and hidden worlds of desire, anonymous encounters and solidarities amongst the muted fringes. For those not 'in the life,' this collection could read like a journal of degeneracy; for those who are more familiar, it could read like romance. Ultimately, though, in its wide-ranging splendor and sexiness, Kink proves that our desires, no matter how dark they are deemed, are always worthy of being named." --BRONTEZ PURNELL, author of 100 Boyfriends, Praise for Kink: Stories edited by R.O. Kwon & Garth Greenwell "Greenwell and Kwon deliver on their promise to 'take kink seriously' in this enticing, wide-ranging collection that plumbs the depths of desire and control...This visionary anthology successfully explores the range of sexual potency in the characters' power plays." -- Publishers Weekly "Bless Kink for opening up the spaces between all binaries, for daring to hold open desire between bodies on the brink of ecstasy. Between pleasure and pain, between hunger and thirst, between power and surrender, these stories will remind you how desire let loose can write us back to life. A pure erotic fury.
