Two novels, two young women at the frontiers of sex.
Like a series of Penthouse letters penned by Kathy Acker, Lie With Me recounts a woman's sexual escapades, picking up random men in bars for a series of increasingly extreme encounters, hoping to understand love from the far side of sluttiness.
In The Way of the Whore, Mira, an introverted Jewish girl obsessed with Jean Genet, allows herself to be seduced by the sex industry, determined to find meaning in her tormented relationships with cruel men.
Tamara Faith Berger's first two novels have been languishing out of print. They were scandalous when they were first published; substantially revised and returned to print, they're just as titillating and troubling now.
"Treading a line between sublime experimentation and unsettling honesty, Little Cat rides a wave of female sexual energy. . . . 'Please, I want you to stay with me till it's over,' the narrator of 'Lie With Me' begs. With writing this good, it's hard not to.' – Quill & Quire
Praise for Tamara Faith Berger's Maidenhead (winner of the 2012 Believer Book Award):
"Myra's confusion, her passion, her need for possession and to be possessed, make this novel an incredible read, finding its place, as Sheila Heti (who should know) wrote, 'somewhere between the wilds of Judy Blume, Girls Gone Wild and Michel Foucault.'" – Flavorwire
"There are no easy moments, no comfort to be found in the searing prose. . . . When writers get young female sexuality right, stories become a revelation and such is the case with Maidenhead. The writing pulls the reader desperately close." – Roxane Gay, The Rumpus
Tamara Faith Berger is the author of three novels, including Maidenhead. Lie With Me has been made into a film.

Too great a misunderstanding
By Kindle Customer
The author has some talent but the preponderance of mistakes and misunderstanding is too great for me to ignore. This book is best classified as juvenilia. Where or how it fits into ongoing discussions of feminism, antifeminism, pro porn and antiporn, gender relationships and identity, etc., I leave it to you to decide if you read this book.
Should you read this book? I think you can find interest and/or pleasure in reading it, as long as you are aware of a few problems.
Despite the number of times these stories have been edited, revised, and published there is at least one area that may harm the innocent or underinformed reader. Safe sex is lifesaving. In several stories, condoms appear and disappear in the same scene progression -- and of course the heroines sometimes scream for the male to achieve orgasm inside the female. The author simply forgets, through many iterations of publishing, that sex was safe in one paragraph and then unsafe in the next. Second, there are sexual positions or acts that absolutely require artificial lubricant -- no one from porn star to virgin doesn't require lubricant. If, as a few characters do in the stories --and I'm tempted to say all of them, but I may have lost count -- you attempt this act without plenty of lubricant, patience and communication, you will, not might, you WILL cause all sorts of bodily injury.
This is a book of fiction. Due to the frequent mistakes and misinformation, I am tempted to say that this is not an autobiographical account in the strictest sense. Do not try the depicted acts at home, not without a lot of supplemental sex education.
A parting thought or two from someone who is sympathetic to the need for a great deal more discussion about gender relationships with regard to sexual experiences. The author portrays many variations on the basic human dilemma of sex, all without stridently -- or otherwise -- claiming one or the other gender is at fault. Refusing to read this book completely and fairly may provide grist for your personal ideological windmill, but you do the author a great injustice ignoring her sometimes nuanced thought.
The biggest misconception about sex, and especially about gender identity and stereotypes, is that all people need to do 99.9 percent of the time is simply show up and sex will be either satisfying or not depending on irrelevant factors such as gender, experience, attitudes, enthusiasm, etc etc. Without working at communicating with one another, and being both honest and nonjudgmental, you might as well have stayed home, alone. Quantity of sexual experiences will not fill the void of dissatisfaction. Thinking you need a lot of sexual partners or even a great deal of sex within a day or week or whatever, is more to do with performance anxiety -- yes, among women too, all of you who like this author are extremely passive during sex, no matter how often she might initiate the process or scream or act aggressively.
Keep these things in mind as you read this very flawed but still interesting book. How might the characters or the author have been better off with a little reciprocity, giving as well as taking, kindness and generosity and respect for another -- and what the limitless potential might be if you worked as hard at reciprocating pleasure than merely showing up for someone else to slave away for your ideas about pleasure.

Rising Above Genre (for the most part)
By Eric Maroney
In Little Cat, Tamara Faith Berger attempts, with a great deal of success, to take the genre of pornographic writing and blend or elevate it with elements of literary fiction.
When the two novellas in this collection (Lie With Me, and The Way of the Whore) are the most successful is not when the prose exhibits the pure mannerisms of pornography. Rather, it is when Berger takes the vast, strange, twisted and grand topic of human female sexuality and twists our view of it on its head, creating new angles, giving the reader fresh viewpoints and unusual, disturbing vistas of this all too human pursuit we think we know so well.
That is when these two book rises above the confines, demands and expectation of the genre. We get more than titillation. We get a writer exploring one of the most common of human pursuits in novel, odd, exciting ways.
