Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In the old city, desire is a discipline.Quebec City rises from the frozen St. Lawrence like a fever dream - its stone ramparts, its Gothic spires, its streets that remember everything. In its haute-ville, in a shuttered townhouse with heavy curtains and a brass door knocker, a woman named Magritte receives her clients.She is not a therapist, nor a confessor, but something older and more precise.Gothic Submission is a novel of vignettes - intimate, unhurried, and pitilessly observant - tracing the lives of the men and women who find their way to Magritte's door. A structural engineer who has built bridges across three provinces but cannot bear the weight of his own authority. A retired diplomat accustomed to negotiating at the highest levels, who discovers, late in life, what he has never dared to want. A literature professor at Universite Laval who writes on transgression but has never lived inside it. A young musicologist on the eve of his departure for Amsterdam, whose sessions with Magritte become a private education in surrender.Magritte herself moves through these lives with the cool attention of a sculptor. She does not perform. She does not comfort. What she offers - and it is offered, never imposed - is a specific form of clarity: the revelation that becomes possible only when control is relinquished, when the architectures we build around ourselves are, by mutual and exquisitely negotiated consent, taken apart.Written in the tradition of Pauline Reage and Angela Carter - rigorous, psychological, and unapologetically sensual - Gothic Submission refuses the easy registers of transgression. There is no shock here for its own sake. There is instead something rarer: a sustained inquiry into power, desire, and the strange freedoms that can open up inside absolute constraint. These vignettes are chamber pieces. What happens in them is explicit. What they are about goes much further.The city is always present - the Plains of Abraham under winter fog, the Carnival crowds, the deep cold that settles over the Chateau Frontenac in January - as both setting and correlative. Quebec City, like Magritte, keeps its secrets elegantly. It has been many things across its long history. It knows how to hold a silence.This is literary fiction for readers who understand that eroticism, at its most serious, is an epistemology - a way of knowing that the daylit world forecloses. In a frozen, historic city, a mysterious woman guides various souls through the ritual of surrender, exploring the profound truths revealed when the structures of control are dismantled through eroticism and negotiated desire.
