Ever wondered why there s no female voice as bold, erotic, unflinching, and revealing as Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, or Philip Roth? There is. It belongs to Susie Bright.
In this stunning and courageous coming-of-age story, Susie Bright opens her heart and her life. From fearful Irish Catholic Girl Scout to gun-toting teenage revolutionary and finally the "The Avatar of American Erotica" *(NY Times),* Bright's life story is shaped as much by America's sexual awakening as the national sexual landscape was altered by Bright herself.
In *Big Sex Little Death,* Bright introduces us to her influences and experiences, including her early involvement with notorious high school radicals *The Red Tide* as well as the magazine she co-founded in the 1980s, *On Our Backs* , the first-ever erotic magazine created by women, which turned the lesbian and bisexual community upside down before it took the "straight" world by storm.
*Big Sex Little Death* is an explosive yet intimate memoir that's pure Susie: bold, free-spirited, unpredictable, larger than life, yet utterly true to life.
