A Victory for Erotica Cover Watch

Stephen Elliott bio ↓ · July 2nd, 2009 · filed under books

Erotica Cover Watch has won a victory to get a man on the cover of an erotic book intended for women.

To celebrate they interview the publisher: “I did get that feedback from one of the buyers who felt it looked like a book aimed at gay men. We will have to see what our readers feel.”

Not really related: Who should book covers speak to?

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
