This titillating collection of twelve short stories depicts the pleasures of new and rediscovered love, lust, and obsession. In the flashes that blur the line between fantasy and reality, each story captures the wild erotic experiences of a small group of professional, middle-class acquaintances, revealing sexual interludes of kaleidoscopic range -- heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, exhibitionist, and sadomasochistic, from a woman's point of view, a man's, the participants', and a voyeur's.

In each account, recurring characters encounter new venues to express the fearlessness of youth, the excitement for the new, and the nostaglia for the variety of love lost. Sensual, explicit, and daring, "Quiver" introduces a fresh voice in the genre of erotica.
