Usually, I don't rate or review books that I have pieces in - it just seems wrong somehow. But I'm making an exception for Coming & Crying. This is a truly great and different collection of stories - I feel like I've been spoiled by reading stories like these online, but realize that there isn't much representation of sad, disturbing, and true stories about sex (and feelings) in print. This book changes that, and it's something that "sex positive" culture, which is all too much about sex being great! and hot! needs quite desperately.
Coming & Crying is full of unflattering self portraits. But somehow, it's not "confessional" in the secretive, shamed sense. Instead, the pieces are very matter-of-fact, but in an artful way.
The book also has an improbable number of huge cocks.
