Publisher's Summary:
Susie Bright celebrates the first amendment, lesbianism, single motherhood, and fantasizes an eventful night with Dan Quayle in this uninhibited and quirky collection of essays, articles, and book reviews written over the past few years. Offbeat and sexy, Bright defends Madonna, attacks Dr. Ruth, and is snubbed by Camille Paglia herself in this rather amazing and outspoken collection.
Bright is gay and proud of it, and considers herself a serious and first-rate pornographer. She gets into endless trouble with right-wingers and kicks and screams her way out of it thoughout this witty, fearless, and thought-provoking collection.
Critic Reviews:
"Susie Bright is the avatar of American erotica." (The New York Times)

Visions of an erotic renaissance
Dipping into Susie Bright's "Sexwise" is like discovering a weird and wonderful time capsule chockfull of 1990s erotic pop culture memorabilia. Who under thirty even remembers the highbrow porno flicks of Andrew Blake or the faux-rotic novels of Nicholson Baker? Who was there--"no sh**!"--to catch the hype and largely cooked-up kerfuffle over Madonna's splashy coffee table book, appropriately enough entitled "Sex"? Who ever included Stephen King's "Gerald's Game" on their list of top-ten all-time favorite novels? (Not Susie Bright--that's for sure!) Yet, while many of the books, films and personalities featured in these short reviews, essays and interviews have long since faded to footnotes, the insights they inspired remain powerfully relevant today.
Bright's style is always hip and engaging, often very personal; trenchant, thoughtful, and unapologetically political. She has an endearingly snarky way of cutting through the thickest piles of elitist BS to uncover truths the rightwing neo-puritans and their unwitting enablers on the "sex-negative" left still don't want you to know. (Her scorching takedown of Catherine McKinnon has rightly been hailed as a classic of sex-positive feminist prose, and is alone worth the price of this book.) Then too, it's interesting to see how many of her ideas--one-time potshots from across the barricades--have become part of the erotic-intellectual mainstream in the intervening decades, notwithstanding the country's ever-more dangerous list to the right, and the concomitant resurgence of the most virulently toxic patriarchal reactionary tendencies in the body politic--a.k.a. "The War on Women." What Bright had to say in the original introduction to "Sexwise" may be even more puissant today than it was back in 1995:
"I wonder how dedicated the oldest ruling class (and their heirs) will be to enforcing sexual silence. History, unfortunately, has not been a series of triumphs for ever-growing enlightenment. Sexual bigotry is still very much a religion, and the extent to which zealots and defenders of the faith will fight for their prejudices is always mind-boggling.
Right now, fundamentalists of all persuasions have only been titillated with a glimpse of the largely middle-class erotic renaissance. Yes, I know they're appalled, but they ain't seen nothin' yet.
