Big Sex Little Death

By Susie Bright

Book Overview

Ever wondered why there s no female voice as bold, erotic, unflinching, and revealing as Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, or Philip Roth? There is. It belongs to Susie Bright. From fearful Irish Catholic Girl Scout to gun-toting teenage revolutionary and finally the "The Avatar of American Erotica" ("The New York Times") Bright s life story is shaped as much by America s sexual awakening as the national sexual landscape was altered by Bright herself. In "Big Sex Little Death, " Bright introduces us to her influences and experiences, including her early involvement with notorious high school radicals The Red Tide, as well as the magazine she cofounded in the 1980s, "On Our Backs" which turned the lesbian and bisexual community upside down before it took the straight world by storm. Explosive yet intimate, "Big Sex Little Death" is pure Susie: bold, free-spirited, and unpredictable larger than life, yet utterly true to life."
