Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Teppy, I think you'd like Justine better now. It's all sex and mysteries and cabals and such.

Well, I think so, but I think Durrell is pretty readable. I love stuff set in Colonial Northern Africa.
Of course, Durrell turned out to be supremely fucked up (in the Anne Sexton manner) but I don't hold that against his fiction.

In some people, it's sort of a creative asset.

Between Justine and The Sheltering Sky, I concluded that Northern Africa is full of really fucked-up people.

That's the good part. It's good for the fiction. Of course, we're speaking mostly of the ex-pats of the 30s-50s. Not the locals who probably weren't particularly fucked up.

Mostly lurking...
Thanks beth, that's a little encouraging.
Jen, yeah, I'm feeling some better, but not 100%...hence being back home now. Yesterday went pretty well, so I thought maybe I was in the clear, but I guess not.

Oppression fucks you up. Just not in sexy glamorous ways.

And yet we're not talking about de Sade's Justine, right? This is some other Justine?

well, there wasn't much mystery in Justine. Except maybe where the next blow was going to hit.
