I enjoyed this writers take on the Fifty Shades phenomena. No matter what your take on the "original" book is, this commentary was quite interesting. The opinions found in here are as varied as the ones on the net and other public venues. Some are are derogatory, and others sing high praises, others still, engage in true literary criticism. I'd not thought of Mr. Grey as a Byronic hero--but that idea certainly has merit.
I was not able to finish the complete Fifty series, my incrediblity factor finally came into play, but I would reccommend this book to those who want to know about the cultural interplays that created the monster. ( )
It was ok. It gave me a perspective on fan fiction, publishing and BSDM. What it did not do, and what I was hoping for, was to help me understand the magnetic appeal of this particular book. Some writers had some clues - Marci Hirsch, p.53, Kagharie Sands, p.67, Susan Colon, p. 101, Rachel Kamer Bussel,p.145, a history of BSDM by Sarah Frantz on p. 159 and Joy Daniels on p.259. The best one of all, from my perspective, was Lois Gresh, p.115, titled "The MacDonalds of Lust." I also liked reading so many women's voices about sex. Ok, so maybe I liked this text more than I thought I did! ( )
Thanks to the publisher and goodreads for a free copy!
So, let's get this out of the way first: I think 50 Shades of Grey has exactly zero redeeming qualities.
But there are also a lot of issues surrounding 50 Shades that are so important to talk about (such as abusive relationship dynamics) or fascinating (like the legal implications of publishing fanfic).
And I bring this up because much as I'd like to be totally neutral and write my review of 50 Writers... in a bubble, that's not going to happen.
50 Writers... is pretty much what it says on the tin: a bunch of essays by a variety of people about 50 Shades of Grey. Some of them I was fascinated with, some of them I skimmed, some of them I thought were insulting. Total mixed bag.
And here's where my bias creeps in: I didn't like the essays about why people love the series, or why it's so awesome and liberating for women. For all I know, these could be phenomenal essays, but my reaction is a firm no. I don't want to hear about it.
The stuff about the publishing? About fanfic? About misrepresentations of bdsm? Those were so interesting to read.
So, basically, this was a good collection of essays. I didn't like all of them, but that's what I've come to expect from an anthology. And I'm biased here: I would have liked this book a lot more were I a 50 Shades fan. ( )
