In the Box Called Pleasure - Reviews

"Addonizio braves Mary Gaitskill's stomping ground, sketching portraits of troubled women who mistake a semblance of sexual chemistry for love and pay a dear price for their error in judgment."

—Village Voice

"Kim Addonizio's fearless, original voice is simultaneously edgy and tender, dark and light. She writes sensitively and intelligently about sex and the human condition, with a clear and lucid eye. In the Box Called Pleasure is a book to read, savor, reread and savor again and again."

—Janice Eidus

"It is impossible to read In the Box Called Pleasure and not admire Kim Addonizio."
