Why read it?
1 author picked Mr. Benson as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mr. Benson was published in 1983, but I discovered it a decade later, in a conversation I had with people while in a BDSM club in Atlanta.
According to the gossip at the time, Anne Rice and John Preston had a contest involving both of them writing and publishing a kinky novel.

From Candace's list on kinky stories published before the internet was a thing.
