The investigation of one's woman sexuality is still, by its nature, unique
Millet diverts the tradition of erotic writing by French women such as Pauline Reage and Alina Reyes firmly into the realm of non-fiction, with this account of her sexual encounters, tastes and unconventional morality... Millet writes extremely well, describing her recollections vividly, and investing her physical largesse with a queenly magnanimity... Millet's sexual aesthetic is a literary one, invoking Sade, Reage and Proust... a work of libertine philosophy'
Her descriptions are laced with a laconic frankness which veers between intelligent reflection and willed self-objectification
An ideal languorous holiday read
Her fans are now citing her as a feminist sexual crusader
You are amazed at her honesty as you are by her exploits. Some of what she does and says mirror your own thoughts and fantasies
Do not read this unless you have a wildly satisfying sex life
Is this the most original novel of the year?
She has recorded her numerous sexual encounters in disarming detail and an alluring style of cool detachment... They make for extraordinarily compulsive reading. Some may think her honesty gratuitous, others will identify with it and find it inspiring
Highly literary, and beautifully, reverently, precisely descriptive
Millet's implicit mission is to write about her own desire with absolute candour and a fierce refusal to consider her audience's needs or sensibilities
Explicit and honest
Millet's unashamed approach to sex is certainly refreshing and admirable
By reclaiming sexual morality as a highly personal matter outside any kind of political control Millet lets sex take revenge on politics
It is Millet's subversive achievement to describe pleasure for its own sake
Millet's achievement is that she curates or, more accurately, catalogues her sexual adventures with no sense of shame or remorse
For those unfamiliar with the female body, it's also illuminating!
Millet is the new icon of highbrow pornography
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
She proves again that Catholicism and filthy sex go together like salt beef and rye
This bestseller shocked Europe and looks set to become controversial here
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
Graceful, thoughful, oddly charming, and profoundly pornographic. A bold, intelligent, pioneering tour de force
Pornography must have been a challenge, but Catherine M has risen to it in a way that will have Descartes encoring from Beyond... Catherine M writes with the enthusiasm of one who invented multiple-partner sex even though she no longer practises the intercourse that she writes about... Genuine free-love requires a level of trust and honesty few of us are prepared to bring into our dealings with others. Catherine M. might be said to be a genuine innocent
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
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
An aloof, gracefully crystilline style as elegant as any French pornography since Sade
