“Zaftig, in Yiddish, means juicy. It also means voluptuous, plump, and round in a deliciously sensuous sort of way,” writes Hanne Blank. “Used to refer to people’s bodies, it suggests opulence and abundance, a sort of unconventional beauty built on heft and curves and softness. Zaftig is also, often, a euphemism for saying that someone is fat.” Hanne Blank presents Zaftig, the first erotica collection celebrating the sexuality of voluptuous women, a full-bodied volume filled with surprising, steamy stories showcasing the sex lives of women of size and their admirers.
