Book Reviews of Alternatives to Sex: A Novel
Book Review: "Celibacy" and its allure
Summary: 2 Stars
"Celibacy" is first and foremost the unmarried state, particularly the state you're in when you've vowed never to marry. If you're honoring the vow, the presumption is that you are not having sex. Hence the common misunderstanding that "celibacy" means abstinence from sex. (And we all know how often that presumption can be wrong.)
Stephen McCauley is a talented writer who, presumably, writes books that bring profits to his publisher. You would therefore think he would merit an editor capable of substituting "abstinence" for "celibacy." (A global search and replace would do.)
Otherwise, I agree with many other reviewers: this book is not up to McCauley's previous books. Read one of the latter if you're new to McCauley; otherwise, be prepared for disappointment.
