The listing, 3 books - Ladies' Erotica, Nathalie X, & Chocolate for a Woman's Spirit has ended.
(1) "Ladies' Own Erotica - Tales Recipes and Other Mischiefs by Older Women," by Kensington Ladies' Erotica Society; 1984, 235 pages.
"The woman who reads this book will carry a sensuous secret akin to having an affair. The man who reads it will have the distinctly unfair advantage in the field of seduction. He will learn things he couldn't get out of Playboy or Penthouse."
(2) "The Destiny of Nathalie X: and Other Stories " by William Boyd (1997), 177 pages.
The author of "The Blue Afternoon" and "Brazzaville Beach" confirms his mastery of story. The stories travel from Lisbon and London to Hollywood, from World War I to the present. Their range of reference vries from fascism to burgeoning capitalism, foreign languages to Hollywood-speak, an imaginary Brazil to cinéma vérité. Their tone covers the spectrum from despair to high comedy. Mr. Boyd's ability to zero in on ordinary human foibles and woes--daydream delusions, cultural dislocations, emotional smash-ups--is swift and sure.... his eccentric wit and restless intelligence exert a powerful appeal". -- The New York Times Book Review, Michael Upchurch
