Dr Tatiana's Sex
Advice to All Creation is a unique
guide to the evolutionary biology of sex. It is narrated through an
advice column in which Dr Tatiana, the racy new agony aunt, replies
to letters from organisms worried about the peculiar things their lovers
do.
Manatees, honeybees, spiders, black vultures,
green spoon worms, hyenas, slime molds: these are just a few of
the troubled creatures Dr Tatiana advises. Their problems? These run
the gamut from giant sperm to dwarf males, from homosexuality to infidelity,
from sexual cannibalism to incest. Rich in natural history, this fascinating,
accessible, hilarious book is a must-have for anyone interested in sex
and why it so often seems to be such a bother.
Dr Tatiana's
Sex Advice to All Creation is published in the US by Metropolitan
Books, an imprint of Henry
Holt, and in the UK by Chatto and Windus, an imprint of Random
House. It is being translated into French, German, Italian,
Dutch and Japanese.
