Step into a world of dream, of fantasy, of erotic tales spiked with poetic imagery. Step into Quixotic Erotic, the new collection of lesbian erotica from Tamai Kobayashi.

Like being awakened from a dream by a soft, sensuous caress, the stories in Quixotic Erotic stimulate the senses. From a birthday surprise to a torrid office dalliance, these tales roam the worlds of women loving women.

A woman's doctor prescribes a weekend with a sex surrogate, leading to exploration and discovery. A couple breaks a trail through the snow to a hidden hotsprings, and the passion it brings. Two women discover the pleasures that toys can stimulate.

But the women in these fictions are not simply sexual beings. They are fully-developed characters who can be confused and conflicted, angry and frustrated, happy and excited. They become real people in a real world, a place where sex is part of life and of living. A place where lovemaking is an expression of self.

From Quixotic Erotic:
She doesn't expect this tenderness, her tears, a sob catching in her throat. She does not understand these desperate yearnings, her frenzied desires. She kisses her, kisses her--
But the woman steps away.
The room, in darkness, whirls.
The lamp in the corner flickers on, casting a small pool of light. The woman, she can see her now, smooth brown skin, strong arms and curve of belly, short black hair. Beauty, beauty, could she have ever imagined this?

Born in Japan, raised in Canada, Tamai Kobayashi is a writer, song-writer, and videographer. She is the author of two story collections, Exile and the Heart and Quixotic Erotic, whose vivid, electric prose has garnered considerable critical acclaim. Prairie Ostrich is her first novel.
