Just how many different ways can you name a woman's genitalia? In Fiona
Giles' anthology, Chick for a Day (Simon & Schuster, 256pp.
$18.00), a smart follow-up to her Dick for a
Day," 38 male writers reflect on what it would be like to have a
vagina for a day. As Rufus Griscom says in these pages, "Any man who
doesn't fantasize about having a vagina is lacking in ambition." This
book is brimming with ambition -- with good,
and even great, contributions. Among the offerings are Justin Chin's
outrageous "Marianne Faithfull's Cunt," Rick Moody's intense riff
"Ineluctable Modality of the Vaginal," and Brian Bouldrey's engaging
essay,
"Monster." And oh yeah, in the interest of full disclosure, even I
contributed a sentence.
