Very smart nerds, a threesome, with much at stake. In high school, with sex. It could get messy!
This is the territory that Veronica Mars and Buffyness still fear to tread. But not Marge Piercy, one of my favorite authors— who I started reading in high school! Piercy has never been shy of strong, complicated young women with sexual power on their minds.
I'd like to share one of my favorite stories from my new erotic audiobook, The Best American Erotica 2001. It's a chapter called "The New Kid" taken from Marge Piercy's novel Three Women.
It's read by Theo McKell, and is just one of the twenty-four memorable stories in this collection. Yes, the title is "two-thousand-and-one", but it's only this year been released on audio. I'd love to know what you think of it!

If you've never read Marge Piercy, check out her novel that changed sci-fi and feminism forever, Women on the Edge of Time. And, if you're an old fan who hasn't touched base in a while, I highly reommend her memoir, Sleeping with Cats! Photo: The classic State Records of New South Wales.
