Kissing power

Kissing Power contains 16 short stories, which reach across genders, age and national borders to act as a counterpoint to the somewhat puritanical contemporary views of sex and erotica. In a series of wild and mischievous stories we go to a teenaged bedroom, to Greece, to a wedding anniversary party, to the theatre and to a boat. There's excitement and creativity when real people have real sex, which is certain to get the desire pumping and the kisses to heat up. Bente Clod (b. 1946) made her debut in 1976 with the book "The Authorized Version and other Infights". She has also written a number of novels on the role of women and the development of a lesbian identity, including "Women Must Never Lose Sight of Each Other Again!" (1977), "Seven Minds or In Doubt" (1980) and "Wait Till You Hear Me Laugh!" (1983). Bente Clod has also written several collections of poetry, including "Between Us" (1981) and "Sun Blinding" (1986). She has received a three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation, and in 1981 she was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. In the spring of 2003, Bente Clod was awarded the Ministry of Culture's Prize for Children and Young People's Literature for the trilogy of novels "Angel Power", "Top of Their Lungs" and "Heavenly Fall" (2000-2003).
