many ways to get it, many ways to say it

 

Many Ways to Get It, Many Ways to Say It: In the 80’s a young woman advertisers her services as a model to photographers; she discovers their weaknesses, seduces them, then extorts them by claiming to be under-age. In the 90’s a 40-something man is married to a doctor who only views him as a sexual object. In these two reversals of sexual harassment and gender-inferiority, Mazza explores such issues as the language of bodies, sexual desirability as an innate urge, latent adolescence, plus what the genders share...and what they can never share.

“Talent jumps off her like an overcharge of electricity.”

--Los Angeles Times Book Review

“[H]er characters take no prisoners and expect no quarter ... a sometimes surreal journey to a nihilistic destination.”

--New Letters Book Reviews

“Mazza is one cold comedian.”

--Kirkus Reviews
