Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Our unnamed narrator takes her readers through an unusual resolution of lost love-six months after parting from her girlfriend Colette, she's still in pain. So she allows herself one hundred and twenty-one days to recover, while at the same time undertaking a journey into the Marquis de Sade's One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom. Thus does our narrator catalogue her fall from the intense emotion of young innocent love to despairing bitter debauchery, and at the same time exposes Sade's role in her own modern life. This novel is not solely an edgy, explicit tale, nor is it merely a sour-sweet love story. This gripping novel breaks all boundaries and knows few confines.

A fascinating examination of lust and sadism, with a modern and original style, from an exciting new literary writer.

"It is not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?"-the Marquis de Sade

3.0 out of 5 stars To be appreciated, not enjoyed, June 15, 2005
By Amateur curmudgeon "kaleun76" (Lakewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews
  
The excuse for the story, a woman, missing her female lover, engages in a 121 day study of the 121 days of Sodom.
On each day, she looks at the tableaux narrated by Sade, and philosophizes on the day's events.
This is not erotic literature, it is an exploration of abuse, of all kinds, and a delving into the minds of the abusers, the writers, and of course, the victims.
While it is possible to appreciate this book, without having read the original 120 Days of Sodom, it is probably better to have read Sade's book before reading this one. I am not recommending that you do so though; 120 Days of Sodom is not a book to be enjoyed.
All in all a hard book to read, but also a worthwhile exercise.
