L'amant en culottes courtes: roman (Fiction & cie)
Par Alain Fleischer. 2006
"Si ce livre peut être considéré comme un roman, c'est dans la mesure où toute initiation, toute expérience formatrice, entre…
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 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.

Par Andrew C. Wenaus. 2022
This book offers an examination of Jeff Noon’s iconoclastic debut novel, Vurt (1993). In this first book-length study of the…
novel, which includes an extended interview with Noon, Wenaus considers how Vurt complicates the process of literary canonization, its constructivist relationship to genre, its violent and oneiric setting of Manchester, its use of the Orphic myth as an archetype for the practice of literary collage and musical remix, and how the structural paradoxes of chaos and fractal geometry inform the novel’s content, form, and theme. Finally, Wenaus makes the case for Vurt’s ongoing relevance in the 21st century, an era increasingly characterized by neuro-totalitarianism, psychopolitics, and digital surveillance. With Vurt, Noon begins his project of rupturing feedback loops of control by breaking narrative habits and embracing the contingent and unpredictable. An inventive, energetic, and heartbreaking novel, Vurt is also an optimistic and heartfelt call for artists to actively create open futures.The Choir Director
Par Carl Weber. 2011
New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber takes readers back to church, where preaching isn't always enough, nothing goes better…
with the Word than a song--and it's time for some hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal. Bishop T. K. Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries a success. But with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal, attendance and cash flow are down. To fill the pews and collection plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic Aaron Mackie, to revive the church. Aaron has been waiting his entire life to prove he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director. But his ways around women, past and present, could cost him more than his job. Simone Wilcox is smart, sexy--and a highly respected church trustee. She's got her eye on the new choir director, with the intention of having a lot more on him, and no one is getting in her way. First Lady Monique Wilson does and says what she wants, regardless of church politics. Despite her shortcomings and a past rumored to include a long list of men, she'll do just about anything to protect the Bishop. You'd think the Bishop was being tested enough, with choir in-fighting, romantic jealousies, and personal vendettas. But a final piece of the puzzle has yet to be revealed: Someone has been robbing the church blind. Someone whose connection to the Bishop is far too close for comfort. . . .
