...under the mattress. Eros was different. It said that sex wasn't dirty; it was a mark of connoisseurship. Eros was clean, a literary and lithographic work of art. Pristinely produced by art director Herb Lubalin, in an elegantly oversized format on both matte and glossy paper, and with hardback covers, it was meant to be displayed. It was a coffee-table magazine, the American Heritage of sexual literacy...
...play the cut shot like Waugh did. The original target was 100,000 words. But after a year writing in longhand at his dining-room table, Waugh emerged with a manuscript twice that size. Some would sooner take their chances with a Brett Lee yorker than drop this hardback on their toes. "Some days it just flowed, and I'd peel off three or four hours of writing at a time," says Waugh.

September 2001 would seem like an unpropitious time for an American publisher to have brought out a large, pricey hardback of Muslim mystical verse, but the book took off immediately. It has a long road ahead, however, if it is to catch up with a previous Rumi best seller, The Essential Rumi, published by HarperCollins in 1995. With more than 250,000 copies in print, it is easily the most...
