More Naughty Bits: A Rollicking Guide to Hot Sex in Great Books, from The Iliad to The Corrections

Jack Murnighan, former editor-in-chief of the sex-positive website Nerve.com, is back with a new collection of the steamiest and most scandalous sex scenes from the greatest books of all time. In the interest of both arousal and edification, Murnighan has scoured the canon of world literature with an eye toward titillation. This new collection features two never-before-published "naughty bits" and an introduction by the author. Here is the literary sex-education you've always lusted for, with over seventy excerpts by authors ranging from Homer to Proust, Kierkegaard to Judy Blume, Franzen to Victor LaValle. Who knew there was so much bumping and grinding in Goethe? How about Anne Sexton's ode to masturbation? Ever curious about what made Saint Teresa purr? Murnighan supplements each bite sized excerpt with a lively, insightful introduction that will help you see the world's great books as you've never seen them before.

Jack Murnighan is the former editor-in-chief of Nerve.com. The author of The Naughty Bits (2001) and coeditor of Full Frontal Fiction (2000), his stories have been chosen for The Best American Erotica in 1999, 2000, and 2001. He lives in New York City.
