Riassunto

A window into a life of insatiable desire and uninhibited sex - this is Parisian art critic Catherine M.'s account of her sexual awakening and her unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. From the glamorous singles clubs of Paris to the Bois de Boulogne, she describes her erotic experiences in precise and beautiful detail. A phenomenal bestseller throughout Europe, The Sexual Life of Catherine M., like Fifty Shades of Grey, breaks with accepted ideas of sex and examines many alternative manifestations of desire. Told in spare, elegant prose, her story will shock, enlighten and liberate you.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Elegantly written and extraordinarily frank. Here is a book so rich in sexual revelation that it could feed five tabloids for a year and still have something left for Channel 5 (Independent on Sunday)

Millet is the new icon of highbrow pornography (Guardian)

The author writes like a connoisseur who is perfectly at ease with her subject... A brilliant testimony of a life spent at the sexual front line (James Harkin Independent on Sunday)

This is the most explicit book about sex ever written by a woman, though it is far from pornographic. Catherine Millet sets about coolly and rationally exploring her insatiable appetites - and she has lived to tell the tale that is the opposite of lurid. It is a comprehensive and elegant performance (Edmund White)

I don't approve of The Sexual Life of Catherine M. But I am grateful she has written it (Lynne Truss The Times)

She proves again that Catholicism and filthy sex go together like salt beef and rye (Independent on Sunday)

Readers may find this book disturbing or repellent, but they are unlikely to find it dull. I thought that it was the most honest book I had ever read on the subject of sex (Rowan Pelling Daily Telegraph)

Her fans are now citing her as a feminist sexual crusader (Observer)

Millet's achievement is that she curates or, more accurately, catalogues her sexual adventures with no sense of shame or remorse (Deborah Levy Independent)

Is this the most original novel of the year? (JG Ballard Guardian)
