"If you want something different, that might provoke some thinking, this is well worth a go. Go on - expand your mind....." -Tim Gray, Goodreads Horror meets the American Dream in this politically timely, scathing, take-no-prisoners novel about Hollywood, suburban sprawl, racism, gun culture, automobile fetishism, love & hate, and what just may prove to be the American Nightmare. Award-winning author and screenwriter Debra Di Blasi returns to the scene of society's crimes with comical, outrageous, angry, and horror-filled excoriations. Praise for Debra Di Blasi's Writing New York Times Book Review: "In clear, resonant prose, laced with bittersweet humor, Di Blasi imparts her understanding of love's multiple ironies." Publishers Weekly: "Both Di Blasi's style and her objective distance and comprehension of her chosen subject mark her as a very psychologically driven, very talented writer." Kansas City Star: "Debra Di Blasi writes in a gray zone where literature, art and conceptual performance meet. Her prose reads like poetry or comes with scrapbook visuals. Her social comment channels Duchamp and his surreal cousins."

"What the Body Requires is to the mind what chocolate is to the tongue-rich and decadent." -Carolyn Szczepanski, The Pitch A handsome Italian wants nothing more than to escape his ill-suited life as a policemen in a gloomy Florence suburb. A beautiful American artist travels to Italy to kill her philandering husband-a Chilean violinist who bears an uncanny resemblance to the policeman. When their paths cross, the result is a sexy, lush devilment spun with suspense. What the Body Requires erupts with music, art, and a cast of unforgettable characters-a whip-smart erotic novel that pulls back the curtain on the real perils of obsessive desire. MORE PRAISE "Highly ambitious and of the deepest seriousness... with an evocative prose and an exotic, vividly imagined landscape. The consistency with which the writing invests everyday actions and objects with an almost erotic fervor is truly extraordinary." -R. M. Berry, author of Leonardo's Horse "This book is highly sexual, but never clichéd. Di Blasi just kills it." -Melanie Page, The Next Best Book Blog "Throughout the novel, Di Blasi plays with contrasts: the thin lines separating life and death, shadow and light, love and hate.... The rhythm and texture are erotic in ways very removed from the usual paperback romance. Her entrancing descriptions are both tactile and cerebral." -Carolyn Szczepanski, The Pitch "This one gets a Thumbs-Up again. Of course, it's Di Blasi!" -Nathan "N. R." Gaddis, Goodreads Librarian
