In Between the Sheets

"In Between the Sheets" (1978) is a collection of short stories by Ian McEwan.

Stories

*"Pornography" is about a two-timing pornographer. His lovers eventually trap him and tie him to the bed. The story ends as the women prepare to castrate him in revenge for his having (so they allege) passed on venereal disease to them.
*"Reflections of a Kept Ape" appears to show a relationship of bestiality between a writer and her ape, seen from the point of view of the 'ape'. No dialogue is spoken.

*"Dead As They Come" tells of a wealthy businessman's bizarre obsession with a fashion mannequin, which he purchases and takes home with him.
*"In Between the Sheets" tells of a father's suspicions about his teenage daughter's relationship with her older midget girl-friend.
