What made Lincoln's hat stand up? Did Chairman Mao keep a
Little Black Book? In this collection, 21 wickedly gifted
writers indulge their imaginations - and ours - by
eavesdropping on the sex lives of the famous. Historical
characters ranging from rock stars and film icons to
royalty and men of science become the focus of erotic
desire. Lynda Schor's "Seduction" follows Warren Beatty on
his tireless erotic journey, with characters like Joan
Collins and Joyce Carol Oates chiming in on his legendary
prowess. In "The Ballad of Scott and Zelda," Maxim
Jakubowski traces the passion and the slow, bitter
disconnection of those idols of the Jazz Age. "Love,
Zora," by Fiona Zedde, is a graceful, poetic evocation of
a young woman's affair with Zora Neale Hurston. Editor
Mitzi Szereto brings together a playful and varied
collection, not only gratifying our curiosity about
acknowledged sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Rudolph
Valentino, but exciting readers with the imaginary
adventures of such unlikely figures as Toulouse Lautrec,
Sigmund Freud, and God.
