pantryslut: (reading is fun)

I am so disappointed.

Rachel Kramer Bussel edited a book called Glamour Girls: Femme-Femme Erotica. I have a story published in it. It's a sordid little tale of a young lady in the early part of this century, who learns the art of womanly love from her nanny -- who is also her father's mistress. Yes, that kind of tawdry. Loosely based on "Diary of a Lost Girl," as it happens, only more sapphic and degenerate. It was great fun to write.

It just got called out in the New Criterion. As "soul-sickening," no less!

But did the author of the article even mention my story? No!

I guess I will have to take my glory in reflected form. Soul-sickening! How delicious!

(Rachel's take on the whole thing is here.)

Worse, it's just a drive-by sneer at the book in preface to critique Allan Bloom the way hard-core Libertarians critique Ayn Rand.
