There's a new semi-autobiographical erotic writer in town, and I think she might just beat all of you out. Her name is Nedjma (well, her pen name is Nedjma) and not only has she written what promises to be a very sexy book (check out a review and a very hot exerpt here), she's done it as a Muslim woman from Northern Africa - so the book is a political act in and of itself.

Check out a NYTimes review here (though, if you don't have a subscription, you only get to read the first part of it), and if you like the sounds of it, you can order it on Amazon here.
