by Angel Blake

Published 2005256 pagesISBN 978-0-3523-3971-3

Stripped Bare is a collection of short stories with an acute and arousing sense of the sexual perversion that lurks just beneath the everyday.Wheather it's a school-reunion disco-complete with uniforms-that getout of hand,or recalcitrant employees who tease their bosses into takingthem in hand,Angel Blake's stories show that even the deepest and most perverse sexuar cravings are never far away.A policewoman who will do anything to keep her job; a nurse who loves to show it all off; a stewardess who takes revenge on a passenger with no self control. These are just three of the ten stories that show waht happens when the uniforms are stripped away and women's darkest desires exposed. ten stories that show the perverse pleasures that lie under the surface, from the prim smugness of the cosmetics stand to the adult sleaze of a school-themed disco.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
  2. Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
  3. What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
