I was chuckling along at this brutal review of (from the sound of it) a thoroughly awful erotica author who’s apparently being condescendingly toasted for being a black female author who makes it to the bestseller lists “without any help from Oprah.” But I got an extra special kick, in this context, out of what I assume was unintentionally interesting wording: “Zane’s popularity rests in her total lack of taint.”

Indeed. For actually-good erotica, check out something by Rachel Kramer Bussel.
