en dialogue avec l'imagination dès le moment vécu, puis dans le souvenir et tout au long de l'existence. Dans ce récit strictement autobiographique, tout l'effort consiste à retrouver et à restituer avec leurs composantes contradictoires les circonstances, l'état d'esprit, les états de corps, les sentiments, les sensations, les pulsions, d'une aventure amoureuse et sexuelle qui est celle de la première fois. Cela se passe à Londres en juillet 1957, alors que l'auteur, âgé de treize ans, séjourne dans une famille pour apprendre la langue anglaise. Pendant quelques jours, cohabitent violemment dans le même être le désir érotique pour une jeune fille de sept ans son aînée, et la volonté farouche de rester un petit garçon en culottes courtes, attaché à son univers d'enfance." -- 4e de couvAllotted Views

Par David Ritz, Willie Nelson. 2016
Willie Nelson's inspiring Christmas fable, based on his holiday classic "Pretty Paper." More than fifty years ago, Willie Nelson's beloved…
Christmas song "Pretty Paper" first hit the airwaves. And for all these years, Willie has wondered about the real-life Texas street vendor, selling wrappings and ribbons, who inspired his song. Who was this poor soul? What did his painful trials say about our loves, our hopes, our dreams in this holiday season--and in the rest of our lives?It's the early sixties and Willie Nelson is down and out, barely eking out a living as a singer-songwriter. The week before Christmas, he spots a legless man on a cart, selling wares in front of Leonard's Department Store in Fort Worth, Texas. The humble figure, by the name of Vernon Clay, piques Willie's curiosity, but Vernon is stubbornly private and--despite Willie's charming queries--has no interest in telling his story. Willie is tenacious, though, and he eventually learns that Vernon is a fellow musician, a fine guitarist and singer.When Vernon disappears, he leaves behind only a diary, which tells an epic tale of life-altering tragedies, broken hearts, and crooked record men, not to mention backroad honky-tonks, down-home cooking, and country songwriting genius. Deeply moved and spurred on by Vernon's pages, Willie aims to give the man one last shot at redemption and a chance to embody the holiday spirit.From the Hardcover edition.Laura Meets Jeffrey
Par Laura Bradley, Jeffrey Michelson. 2012
"There is no such thing as great sex unless you have an apocalyptic moment." * "The difference between writing and…
literature is agreeable style and irony. This book has both." * "Objective, funny, salacious and perversely-dare I say it- uplifting!" NORMAN MAILER "Undeniably brilliant." LEGS McNEIL "Swimming in audacity." DWAYNE RAYMOND LAURA MEETS JEFFREY is a love story, a name-dropping, hilarious, shameless erotic cyclone, a documentary of the excesses, dangers and extreme edges of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and a close-up personal history of sexual liberation's primetime. LAURA MEETS JEFFREY while she's working in an upscale New York City brothel in 1980 and they share an apocalyptic moment. It's love at first orgasm. And so begins their double lives. At dinner parties she's known as a witty lingerie model and jewelry artisan, and a famous film director's ex-lover. He's her media wizard boyfriend, a designer discovered by John Lennon who worked for John & Yoko, Apple Records and the Rolling Stones, and then created Puritan, the world's largest-selling explicit sex magazine. On weekends he boxes with Ryan O'Neal and Jose Torres. In their bedroom, many other rooms, rooftops, hotel elevators and the New York, LA and Miami demimonde of call girls, coke dealers, BDSM, on-premise sex clubs, adult bookstore glory holes, orgies, porn stars, Jerzy Kosinski, Al Goldstein and a horny White House speechwriter or two, Laura and Jeffrey transform into unquenchable libidomaniacs. Norman Mailer considered his famous interview with Jeffrey and Laura on "Ethics and Pornography," excerpted as a bonus chapter in this book, one of the best of the more than 600 he gave in his lifetime. Mailer bequeathed the Foreword and gave guidance to this account of two lovers, who missed none of the wild era just before the door slammed shut on sexual freedom and aren't afraid to reveal all of it. Introduction by Legs McNeil.True Confessions of a Potato Queen

we all think it is or is there more than meets the eye?

Certainly not for the faint hearted, this juicy exposé is the definitive textbook for any aspiring potato queen, the admirer of this exotic species or for just about anyone who would relish a fantastic bedtime read.
