Eat Me

He peeled off Julia's clothes as if they were the leaves of a steamed artichoke, savouring each item of clothing with his nose, eyes and skin, cherishing the tender inner leaves most of all…

Eat Me tells the story of four women living in Sydney in the mid-nineties. Julia is a photographer. Chantal edits a fashion magazine. Helen is a feminist academic. And Philippa is writing a novel. The best of friends, they haunt the designer cafes of Darlinghurst, eyeing the passing talent and swapping stories. Sexy, intelligent and predatory, these four women are creatures of their times, as are the men in their lives—Jake the 'slacker gigolo', Marc the wannabe feminist and Mengzhong the Beijing sword-swallower. But can we believe their wild and wicked descriptions of their erotic exploits?

With her brilliant wit and silky prose, Linda Jaivin has created a wickedly funny romp through the undergrowth of female desire. After Eat Me, lust, laughter, and chocolate ice cream will never be the same again.

This new edition of the classic erotic bestseller is a must!

Praise for Eat Me:

‘Jaivin never loses sight of her self-declared goal, which is to wrench the writing of erotica from its male practitioners, dress it up with style and sly humour and restore it to women.’

Jonathan Kirsch, LA Times

'Erotic escapism at its best, with a touch of humour and a touch of class; a blend of fetishism, fun and kiwi fruit!'
