)Jewel of the Moon (1985) is a collection of short stories by American author William Kotzwinkle. The beautiful and erotic title piece concerns a couple who observe 13 months of subtle sexual foreplay leading up to the inevitable moment of cosmic release. A number of the short stories collected in the volume had been first published in Omni and Penthouse magazines.
Reception
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette remarked, "In these short stories ... the author stretches the surreal limits of the imagination into worlds enchanted and bizarre, beautiful and insane. Yet the reader isn't put off by this, rather he rides along, knowing the roller coaster is going to fling him down and up, tingling his risibilities one moment, churning his stomach the next."[3]
