Pretending the bed is a raft

by Nanci Kincaid

Nanci Kincaid is a specialist in the mating game. She's a woman who can track the thrusts and parries of courtship, a writer who can describe the indescribable moments of victory...and defeat. Here, she zeros in on the give-and-take between exuberantly feminine females and the men they attract. What they do once they get together is only part of what Kincaid reports with her devilish empathy and delicious humor. Why they do it, why the bed seems like a life raft, is her singular insight - and what drives these eight irresistible stories.
