| 1 | Flesh and the Word: An Anthology of Erotic Writing | 1992 | Alan Hollinghurst | Buy |
Alan Hollinghurst’s anthology work includes a contribution to Flesh and the Word, a 1992 collection of erotic writing. The anthology was part of a series that aimed to present erotic fiction as a legitimate literary form.
Hollinghurst’s inclusion in the collection reflects his long engagement with themes of desire and physical experience in his writing. While his novels handle these subjects with more subtlety and scope, his anthology contribution shows a willingness to address them directly.
