Literature and Fiction | Novella / Short Story
A woman goes about certain rituals of sex with her second
husband, sharing the bed with the ghosts of her sexual past.
A beautiful young art student embarks on an affair with a
much older, married, famous artist. A middle-aged woman
struggles with the decline of her mother, once glamorous and
still commanding; their fraught relationship causes
unexpected feelings, both shaming and brutal. A man finds
that his father has died while in the midst of extra-marital
sex and wonders what he should do with the body. And a boy
sits in his Calculus class, fantasizing about a schoolmate's
breasts and worrying about his father lying in hospital, as
outside his classroom window the Twin Towers begin to fall. In this stunning, taboo-breaking debut, Arlene Heyman, a
practicing psychiatrist, gives us what really goes on in
people's minds, relationships, and beds. Raw, tender, funny,
truthful and often shocking, Scary Old Sex is a
fierce exploration of the chaos and beauty of life.
