Cult of Gracie Radio With Donna George Storey

The Stanford Ph.D. discusses her erotic novel, Amorous Woman, and Japanese sexual customs. Amorous Woman is the semi-autobiographical tale of an American woman's love affair with Japan. The heroine's steamy, yet thought-provoking adventures include romps in love hotels, hot springs trysts, working as a bar hostess and sometime prostitute and encounters with lesbian manga pron artists. Based on a 17th century Japanese erotic classic, the story combines the frank and witty treatment of female sexuality in "Sex and the City" with the elegant exoticism of Memoirs of a Geisha.
