Review:

Entangled Lives: Memoirs of 7 Top Erotica Writers, edited by Marilyn Jaye Lewis. Alyson Books, 234 pages, $15.95 paper.

Editor Lewis craves being bound and disciplined. Greg Wharton and Ian Philips savor a passionate sexual (and intellectual) three-way with another writer. Rachel Kramer Bussell is a spankaholic. Bill Brent weaves crystal addiction, abuse as a youth, and the challenging miracle of recovery through his sometimes dark sexual history. Amie M. Evans is addicted to sex in public. And Rob Stephenson writes of the disquieting disintegration of first love. This isn't a how-to manual by porn writers. This is an intelligent "our lives" memoir - and, it must be said, a sizzling treat for literary voyeurs. Each of the seven contributors (or eight, if the pseudonymous third man, "Adam Greenway" in "Threeway," by Wharton and Philips, is included) writes with astonishing intimacy about his or her sexual lives. How much real life do writers of erotica incorporate into their porn stories, and how much spills from smart imaginations? This confessional compendium gives glimpses of the sometimes vaporous boundary between the real life of a few writers, and their evocative writerly fantasies.
