Lady Chatterley’s Brother: Why Nicholson Baker Can’t Write About Sex, and Why Javier Marias Can is an ebook I’ve written with Veronica Scott Esposito, my friend and longtime editor at The Quarterly Conversation. It’s sort of like an electronic pamphlet, long and argumentative yet sprightly and topical, covering how two contemporary authors treat that most hazardous of subjects: s-e-x. The booklet consists of two long essays, each approximately 35 pages in length. Mine is called “I Know It When I See It: Nicholson Baker’s Sex Trilogy” and Veronica’s essay is called “Just Do It: Javier Marias’ Sexless Sexuality.”

The ebook is the first installment in the TQC Long Essays series. You can buy it from B&N.com or from Amazon. And the price? $2.99! It’s just like MAD magazine — cheap!

Or you can email me, and I will send a PDF to you for free. 🙂
