The job was simple: A stunning, successful newspaper journalist, Robin Rinaldi, would move into a SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA apartment, join a dating site, and get laid. Never brain that she already had a beautiful smooth a few blocks away, that she was 44, or that she was married to a man she'd been in love with for 18 years. What adopted - annually of intimacy, heartbreak, and surprising revelation - is this issue of this riveting memoir, The Outdoors Oats Project. An open matrimony was never one of Rinaldi's goals - her goal as she approached midlife was to get started on a family. But when her husband insisted on the vasectomy, she made a decision she could stay married only on her own terms. If I can't have children, she told herself, then I'm going to have lovers. During the week she'd live by itself, seduce men (and women), attend erotic workshops, and partake in wall-banging intimacy. Around the weekends she'd go home and become a wife. At a time when the best-seller lists are topped by literature about eroticism and the shifting assignments of women, this courageous memoir explores how our sexuality defines us - and it offers the missing hyperlink: an everywoman's consideration of sex. Combining the strong literary voice of Cheryl Strayed's Outdoors with the adventurousness of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, The Outdoors Oats Project troubles our sensibilities and evokes the delicate balance between loving others and keeping true to oneself.
