What the Fuck
What the Fuck: The Avant-Porn Anthology | William T. Vollmann
2 posts
Experimental Erotica From Some Of The Best-Known Names In Modern Literature; Shunning the notion that erotic literature is hastily created thrown-away words and sentences, a new literary, experimental aesthetic pervades this anthology. The writers here show that human sexuality is broad, and the range of desire is exciting and vast. Sex is as vital as food, politics, and conflict. The Avant Pornographers are not afraid to explore and exploit the nature of postmodern human sexuality in the 21st Century, with their own brand of twists and curves. Like Mirrorshades was to cyberpunk and Avant Pop was to avant pop, What The Fuck will be a new brand of post-pomo sexualised fiction. Contributors include William T Vollmann, one of the most important writers of the 1990s; leading sci-fi writer Don Webb, pomo novelist Robert Coover, anthologist Larry McCaffrey of the Avant Pop anthology from Viking Penguin, underground sensation Thom Metzger as well as L A Ruocco, author of the challenging and labyrinthian Document Zippo.

I get that music/tv shows/movies sometimes come in different versions. A lot of that has to do with what‘s allowed on air. Now, apparently, some books are being made less “steamy” so there are two copies. I have mixed feelings about this given the ways to scam readers I‘ve learned about and it feels a bit like that. As one Tweeter said, gimme the “full-sugar soda” when it comes to the steam. Maybe I should lay off Book Twitter for awhile.....

Lynnsoprano I have followed one romance writer whose books I‘ve read on FB, and she and her daughter released “sweet “ versions of all her novels. I really lost respect for her, especially because she took a lot of time to do that but hasn‘t released anything new in a couple of years. Makes me think she‘s run out of ideas. 7y
jpmcwisemorgan @Lynnsoprano I know there‘s a market for less than full-sugar soda (that‘s gonna be my thing now) but I think it should just be written that way. If it‘s not necessary to your story why are you putting it in there anyway? I think readers who want less or no sex should have books written specifically for them. They deserve that. 7y
Hooked_on_books I had no idea this was a thing! Terrible. It‘s as though it‘s a more palatable way to ban books. If you don‘t want to read a certain book, don‘t, but don‘t demand it be changed. What a load of crap! 7y
Birdsong28 Totally agree just avoid the book. We are vastly running out of resources and we want to waste paper on this idea. 😡 7y
