A Wicked Book





After completing his classic, Moby Dick, Herman Melville wrote a letter to his buddy Nathaniel Hawthorne in which he commented, “I have written a wicked book, and feel spotless as a lamb.”

This is exactly how I feel now that my buddy Lori and I have completed our first collaborative writing adventure, a “snarkiliscious” non-fiction book we are titling The Medieval Vagina: A Hysterical and Historical Perspective of all Things Vaginal During the Middle Ages. This experience has been a fun ride even if it hasn’t been nearly as naughty as it sounds.

Our aim with The Medieval Vagina, or the MV as we have come to call it, is to shed some light on the most feminine of body parts during one particular moment in time. This book is for the feminist. It is for the historian. It is for the medievalist. It is for the humorist. It is for the curious male.

It is for the lover of the unusual, the weird, the quirky, and the vulgar. It is for anyone who appreciates the uniquely female organ that plays a key role in progeny, pleasure, punishment and peccadillo.
