Product Description:
APPEALING TO EVERY TASTE AND TYPE OF SEXUAL ARRANGEMENT, NOTHING IS TABOO AND ANYTHING GOES IN THIS CUTTING-EDGE COLLECTION EDITED BY SUSIE BRIGHT -- AMERICA'S TASTEMAKER OF EROTICA
Book Magazine called her 'America's ranking connoisseur of sex, porn, and freedom of physical expression.' Tristan Taormino exalted, 'The absolute bomb' in The Village Voice. More discerning than any judge and far ahead of the curve, Susie Bright plucks the best stories from every genre to create her much-anticipated annual collection.
In The Best American Erotica 2004, Broadway superstar Alan Cumming tells of the deep knowing offered by one stranger to another after casual sex; in science fiction hotshot Geoffrey Landis's bawdy fairy tale, we learn about the very first penis; Touré's breathless prose poem sets us up with an evening's worth of erotic visitors; and in Jerry Stahl's story, a man recalls his boyhood fascination with his mother's friends and their elaborate undergarments.
Always taking her readers to undiscovered places, Bright never disappoints in giving them an uninhibited, something-for-everyone collection of the year's most divine erotica.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Same writers, same uninteresting crap
Ms. Bright seems to have made her fortune with this annual volume and though I haven't read it since 1998 or so, I did get this one as a gift and was profoundly disappointed. I've read much better erotica in other books that didn't claim to be the "best." I think, really, this series is pretty overrated.
Rating: - yawner
Some peole love this collection because it has a taste of something for everybody. But that also means that you are only likely to find a few stories to your personal taste. I was bored through most of the stories. I love susie bright, but her name wont be enough for me to purchase on a whim anymore.
Rating:  - By far the most overrated series in the history of erotica
Once again Susie supposed tastemaker of erotica Bright has thrown together a collection of mundane and not particularly well-written smut that should have stayed on the top shelf where it belongs instead of being printed by a reputable publisher. Like her previous volumes, there is little in this cheesy collection to redeem it. Can anybody spell "hack"? If this is the best American erotica, I'd hate to see the worst. Hang it up, Susie!
Rating:  - Excellent book
I loved this book, and especially some of the female authors. I think this is my favorite of all the years.
Rating:  - Great stories!
What I love about The Best American Erotica 2004 is that the stories have a great balance of plot, characterization and erotica. They're wonderful and literary -- something to stimulate the mind as well as the loins. I like the dark humor of "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Porno Movie," the irony in "The Disabled Loo," the starkness of "The Cool Cat," and the fetish in "The Girdle Boy" (which is also featured in Best Fetish Erotica). I hadn't liked the previous installments as much as I liked this one. Susie Bright has chosen some memorable and interesting stories this time around. I recommend it to all erotica enthusiasts. This is a must-have anthology!
