All you need is love. All you get is sex . . . the saying is all too true in the strange private lives revealed in Greetings from the Vodka Sea. A prim English bride honeymooning beside the Vodka Sea learns first-hand about drinking the water in foreign parts. A naive doctor and his wife diverge in a group sex session masquerading as therapy. A man with a past plots to seduce a deteriorated middle-aged woman who could expose him. Paths cross, whether by accident or by design. Life's randomness is offset by dark comedy, the dream-logic of fantasy, and an eerily familiar synchronicity.

Autorenporträt
Ever since his first piece of fiction was published 25 years ago in the small literary magazine Thrust, Chris Gudgeon has been honing his literary craft. Although his influences range from Will Self and Tibour Smith to fifteenth-century Japanese pornography, Chris Gudgeon has written, in this instance, a collection of stories with subtle echoes of Kurt Vonnegut. In addition to The Naked Truth, Chris Gudgeon's works of non-fiction include An Unfinished Conversation: The Life and Music of Stan Rogers and The Luck of the Draw: True Life Tales of Lottery Winners and Losers, both national bestsellers, and Out of This World, a controversial biography of the poet Milton Acorn. A resident of Victoria, Chris Gudgeon writes regularly for radio, television, film, and print publications as diverse as Mad, the Globe and Mail, Canadian Wildlife, and Playboy.
