Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Many of the tales in Toby Litt's collection Exhibitionism are "sexual comedies"; and Litt has that rarest of literary gifts: an ability to write about sex in an unsentimental, non-pornographic, un-cringe-making way. His stories are honest, amusing, stylish and eloquent.

"Alphabed" is particularly striking and insightful: it's an A to Z of dying sexual passion which spares neither blushes nor expletives as it dissects the decay inherent in carnality. Similarly, "On The Etiquette of Eye-Contact During Oral Sex" does exactly what it says on the tin: even if the wit sometimes flags, it's full of salutary advice on the trickiest of erotic acts. But it's not just sex that benefits from the Litt technique. The first story, "Dreamgirls", is a mildly touching fantasy on what it means for inner wishes to come true. The "Audioguide" is nobly experimental and almost entirely confusing (it's probably about museums) but is never less than smart. Best of the lot is "Mapmaking Among The Middle Classes"--it's a deliciously sly dig at the feng shui of bourgeois socialising.

Litt's bestselling novels, like Deadkidsongs and Beatniks have proved he's a dab hand at examining generational angst and masculine hang-ups; this impressive collection of short stories shows he has other talents, too.--Sean Thomas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Style over substance, 19 Oct 2003
By A Customer
These stories are the literary equivelant of Guy Ritchie films. They are brash, prone to artiface rather than art and, one you see beyond the pyrotechnics, ultimately shallow.
Generally, readers of short stories tend to be discerning. I believe there are many collections worthier of your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching, light-hearted, dangerous, entertaining..., 12 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Exhibitionism (Hardcover)
Unhinged yet thought-provoking slice of life tales with bizarre twists and rampant sexual undertones.

Entertaining throughout, Toby Litt's ability to catch the reader off guard is uncanny and casts a horoscope writers view over our own mental sexual misadventures and sanity.
