Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. VOLUPTUOUS PLEASURE: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE is a collection of nonfiction whose title states that nonfiction does not exist. These stories, by acclaimed author Marianne Apostolides, are sensuous and smart, ambiguous but incisive in their truths. VOLUPTUOUS PLEASURE will take you inside brothels and bedrooms, kitchens and consciousness; it will seduce you along the limits of nonfiction, making you question the veracity of anything you've ever read--or even experienced.
