Novelistas incapaces de escribir una página sin tener una copa en la mano o tan prolíficos que acabaron asfixiados en su propio ego. Un Hemingway yéndose al otro mundo en circunstancias exactas a la que eligió su padre, dos de sus hermanas y una nieta. Un Scott Fitzgerald que entraba a los casinos a cuatro patas o una Virginia Woolf que no soportaba leer sus textos.

In little time, Loy has become one of the most powerful advocates of the Buddhist worldview, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the sociopolitical landscape of the modern world. In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples - the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels - and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough", whether it's time, money, sex, security...even war.

Step back to 1929 with Is Sex Necessary?, a satirical spoof on the era’s obsession with psychoanalysis and forbidden topics. E.B.

"La femme a toujours été, sinon l'esclave de l'homme, du moins sa vassale ; les deux sexes ne se sont jamais partagé le monde à égalité ; et aujourd'hui encore, bien que sa condition soit en train d'évoluer, la femme est lourdement handicapée. En presque aucun pays son statut légal n'est identique à celui de l'homme et souvent il la désavantage considérablement." Simone de Beauvoir

David Shields’s The Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex, Love, Marriage, Porn, and Power is an immersion into the perils, limits, and possibilities of human intimacy. All at once a love letter to his wife, a nervy reckoning with his own fallibility, a meditation on the impact of porn on American culture, and an attempt to understand marriage (one marriage, the idea of marriage, all marriages), The Trouble with Men is exquisitely balanced between the personal and the anthropological, nakedness and restraint.

Joan Didion and Nora Ephron have both written, by turns grimly and hilariously, about the indignities of getting older.

With her characteristic wit, unsparing eye for detail, and famously frank opinions on gender issues, Juska, author of the best-selling memoir A Round-Heeled Woman, talks sex, the ups and downs of body parts well below the neck, and the indomitable human need for connection, whatever a woman's age.
