"Beautifully written and rich in personal and cultural textures, Sex is an important addition to feminist history and literature." - Betty Ann Brown, art historian, critic, and curator
"Insightful, funny and fabulous...." - Laurie Towers, photographer and comedian
"...The description of the late 1960s and 1970s is so vivid and detailed - the music, the colors, the ways people communicated - a real portrait of the time.... The reading by Linda Fitak is exceptionally well-done and charming: it seduces and invites the listener to continue. The novel is certainly a very complex tapestry, but the protagonist and her co-protagonists are so deftly delineated that each one finds a place in the listener's memory." - Beatrice degli Abruzzi, Florence, Italy
