Zaftig: Well Rounded Erotica

by Hanne Blank (Editor)

Overview

"Zaftig, in Yiddish, means juicy. It also means voluptuous, plump, and round in a deliciously sensuous sort of way," writes Hanne Blank. "Used to refer to people's bodies, it suggests opulence and abundance, a sort of unconventional beauty built on heft and curves and softness. Zaftig is also, often, a euphemism for saying that someone is fat." Hanne Blank presents Zaftig, the first erotica collection celebrating the sexuality of voluptuous women, a full-bodied volume filled with surprising, steamy stories showcasing the sex lives of women of size and their admirers.

Editorial Reviews

Editor Hanne Blank writes, “Many of the pieces are frank in celebrating the transformative force of sex, lust, desire, and the recognition that one is desired.” Zaftig women, described variously as “full-figured” and “pleasingly plump,” have long been a source of fetish and humor in erotic literature. Now the publisher of Best Women’s Erotica turns the tables with surprising, steamy stories showcasing the sex lives of women of size and their admirers. “Not only is Blank’s work infused with humor and mischievous irony, her delight in her own body and her sexuality is fabulously contagious: she makes you feel good about yourself in every way, shape, and form.” — Paramour
