Meeting the Master: Stories about Mastery, Slavery, and the Darker Side of Desire

A fresh new voice in erotic fiction, Elissa Wald's first work is fast becoming an underground cult classic. Wald studied writing at Columbia University. Her resume includes jobs in the circus, on Indian reservations, as a phone sex operator, as a stripper, and as an outreach counselor to prostitutes. A subtle, beautifully crafted collection, Meeting the Master presents an accomplished new author whose lyrical economy and ability to see the erotic in everyday life make her stories a true pleasure to read.
