Love in Rimini

Love in Rimini explores the relationships between straight men and transsexuals who live in the Italian resort of Rimini.

The cover of Alice Stoehr's Again, Harder. The book has black letters on a lilac background. In the middle of the cover is a red rectangle with a black line drawing of it. The drawing is of two figures entangled; they have human bodies but animal heads. The same image serves as the background behind the image of the book cover.
