This was a really decent mix of stories from authors I have and have not encountered. I loved that some were very mundane descriptions of daily life, while some explored sexuality more deeply. It is a product of its age, in some instances, but really it's stood the test of the short but significant time that's past since its publication. This made me want to read a more modern similar anthology--off to go find one!
