5.0 out of 5 stars
Good, Complicated Literary Erotica,
This review is from: Matriarchy: Freedom in Bondage (Paperback)
Finely written and dreamily erotic for all its complexities. McKesson imagines an elegant world of female dominance, a world of debaucherous tea parties, lush, luxurious feminization, and strict training. This book is densely packed with image after image, as it should be - the author worked on it for many years, and only published it very late in life. The images and scenes are finely polished to the point of archetypes. An elegant, meditative treatise on what D/s service could be like.

More of a personal study that erotica,
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Matriarchy: Freedom in Bondage (Paperback)
This book is not really erotica at all, though I suspect that some readers who are interested in Victorian style femdom might fine it more physically stimulated than I did. No, instead it is a journey of one man whom after a long life finally writes down his fantasies along with accompanying drawings. The drawings are well done though I bit difficult to see -- the nature of the media I suspect. The book itself is not a novel in the sense that it is actually a story of a particular length but instead more like a short story or a draft of what could have developed into an intriguing world. As it is, the development of the characters is too quick, too short, and thus I never empathized with anyone nor truly cared what happened to them. I found that I was more interested in the man that created this book, why these fantasies, why these images, why did it take so long for him to express himself and did he ever get that fantasy even briefly in real life.
