Bernstein, Richard. (2009).
The East, the West, and sex. New York: Knopf.
Kirkus:
An investigation of the Western male's age-old attraction to Asian women. In an effort to be fair and nonjudgmental, Bernstein offers feminist viewpoints as well.A diligent scholar pursues a subject given to theories of exploitation and dehumanization, but intriguing any way you look at it.
Spencer, Scott. (2008).
Willing. New York: Ecco.
Booklist:
His frank view of a trashed and corrupt world in which men and women struggle to do right is immensely moving, and his subtle alignment of our abuse of women with the pillaging of the earth deepens the resonance of this very human tale of the many faces of love.
Kirkus:
Against all expectation, considering the subject matter, Jankowsky is a more interesting character than the novel in which he finds himself.
